French toast with low carb bread?

[Rosie9876]

I bought my first loaf of low carb bread. Not nearly as tasty as sourdough bread, but I'm trying to cut down further on carbs. I'm wondering if it would make a good French toast. Has anyone tried it?

I haven't tried, but the texture is very different and I don't think it would absorb the egg well.
I use low carb bread only for cheese on toast, or poached eggs on toast

Thanks. Disappointing but glad that I've been warned, because it's too expensive to waste on an experiment. Maybe it's just the make I got, but I'm not crazy about the taste. I've tried it with aubergine meze - which I love - and it didn't do it for me.

It lower carb than ordinary sourdough but not as low as some ordinary low carb breads on the market.
Worth a try and quite tasty.

This looks interesting. I take it you've tried it as you say "quite tasty". Does it raise your blood sugar? I had been eating real sourdough bread, frozen then toasted, to reduce accessible carbs. It worked well until it didn't and my BG has been going up for no good reason. So then I chose a low carb company which uses extra virgin olive oil and sticks to good ingredients. But little point if you don't like the product. Maybe I remember the taste of good bread too well.

Does it raise your blood sugar?

I had two slices (well buttered, not toasted) and my blood sugar went from 5.1 to 5.5 two hours later.
