One Minute Bread*

I tried this this morning and it actually produced a very edible piece of "toast". There are not funny flavors nor bizarre textures which usually put me off these types of breads (the hardest replacement I find in all of low-carb cooking).

It takes only minutes to make, and just a minute or so in the microwave to "bake".

I made a egg and sausage sandwich and though a bit fragile, it did toast up nicely and provided a real "bread-like" experience.

If you must seriously curtail your carbs, this could be most helpful. Another loaf recipe is available and I'll try that soon. NOTE that ingredients do vary a lot among similar recipes, but this worked perfectly for me.

INGREDIENTS:
2 teaspoons  coconut oil
1 large  egg
1 tablespoon  water -- or kefir, or coconut milk (just enough to get the right              consistency, like pancake batter)
1/2 tablespoon  Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons  almond meal, blanched
1 tablespoon  flax meal, Golden
1/4 teaspoon  baking powder
      Dash  salt
1/4 teaspoon  Splenda or other sweetener of your choice (not to sweeten but to bring out flavor)

INSTRUCTIONS:
In standard cereal bowl, place coconut oil. Nuke 15 seconds. To coconut oil in cereal bowl, add egg, and kefir or water, and ingredients in the following sequence – Parmesan cheese, almond meal, flax seed meal, baking powder, salt, and Splenda . Using a metal whisk, whisk ingredients together until well combined. (Or electric mixer with one whisk attachment)

Spread in a sprayed Glad square plastic container, or keep in cereal bowl.  Nuke uncovered 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes, or until set. The cooking time may vary for different microwave ovens. (I lined a square plastic sandwich container with parchment and sprayed it, and it worked great).  Loosen edges and underneath with a regular dinner knife and invert. Allow to cool slightly and using a sharp bread knife, slice in half horizontally. Toast in a bread toaster (setting should be higher than for regular bread) until browned. Butter crisp toast generously and place breakfast items on top.

SERVES: 1

NOTES: As you get better acquainted with the various recipes for this bread, you can use substitutes.
