Low Carb Egg "Bread"

s230787 · Feb 2, 2012

I found this recipe, can't remember if it was on here from a very old post but i just thought i would share it all with you. It is gorgeous, and I am more than happy to substitute bread for this! Eating it for din dins right now with a slice of chicken in it :thumbup:

I put a little bit more italian seasoning in it and some chilli powder, left out the garlic powder as I didn't have any in the cupboard :lol:

Have you tried almond flour bread too? I've made biscuits and cakes with this and I'm going to give the bread a go this afternoon, apparently it comes out a bit like irish soda bread.

Can't wait to try it with a boiled egg and lots of spread in the morning!!

Not tried almond flour yet at all, i've been looking for it in the shops but can't find. Looked online and its a fair few pounds... payday next week so i think i'll be purchasing then :lol:

I too have been looking for almond flour, Anyone tell me where to get it?

Almond flour is called ground almonds in the UK. Apparently it's the USA that calls it almond flour.

Tried a piece of my almond flour bread this morning with an egg and it was very nice (even if I do say so myself!), it even toasted, took a while under the grill though! And it didn't spike me, a bit lower than usual if anything

Sainsbury's sell ground almonds (almond flour), at £1.99 for 200g. How much is it in Aldi? I go through a bag or two of it a week so I wouldn't mind getting it somewhere else as it ends up being a bit pricey :?

s230787 · Feb 3, 2012

oooh glad it was nice, i've been searching like a muppet for almond flour everywhere, the only place i could source it seemed to be america at a cost of £15-£20 a bag!!

i bet you thought i was stupid when i said i had to wait till payday lol!! now i can buy some for a few quid :lol: i'm so :crazy: sometimes

Do you have a recipe for your bread?? or even better your biscuit recipe

Hi Sirzy,

Do you have a recipe for the almond flour bread? Sounds delish!

Thanks,

Ant

Last time I bought them at Aldi's I stocked up so they may have gone up a bit since then, but they were only 99p for 200g

At Dr Andreas Eenfeldt's The Diet Doctor site he has a recipe for something called "Oopsies" which he says can substitute for bread. I haven't tried them myself (never felt the lack of bread) so I can't vouch for them but they look interesting nonetheless ...scroll down a bit from this link http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf#tips

Oopsies
6–8 depending on size.

3 eggs
100 grams of cream cheese
a pinch of salt
½ tablespoon fiberhusk (can be excluded)
½ teaspoon baking powder (can be excluded)

* Separate the eggs, egg whites in one bowl and egg yolks in another.
* Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving.
* Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. Add fiber husk and baking powder if you want (will make the oopsie more like bread).
* Very gently put the egg whites into the yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.
* Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray.
* Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden.

Can be eaten as bread or used as a hotdog- or hamburger bun. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking them, for instance poppy-, sesame or sunflower seeds. One big oopsie can be used for a swiss roll. Add a generous layer of whipped cream and some berries.

Oopsies are simply cold omlette. When I made them, they were so awful, I actually spat it out, but I never did like cold egg :sick:

Well that is disappointing they look half-decent in the photo... but then I've never actually seen a Big Mac that looks like they do in the adverts either

Ground almonds are found in the cake baking ingredients section of the supermarkets normally. Just in case any of you are still wandering round :crazy: Whitby Jets chicken nuggets made with ground flour and parmesan are a joy!

Take two eggs and whisk in a bowl and season with black pepper & salt (optional) then take a slice of bread dip in the egg and fry for 2 minutes each side

And of course it can be served sweet, often with sugar and cinammon and pureed fruit, you could use sweetener and berries.
