PROTEIN BREAD:

Maria Mind Body Health

CRAB BLT

PROTEIN BREAD:
6 eggs, separated
1 cup unflavored egg white or whey protein
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Separate the eggs (save the yolks for a different recipe...creme brule???), and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff (I use a stand mixer on high for a few minutes). Slowly fold in the whey protein and onion powder if using. Then slowly fold in the cream cheese into the whites (making sure the whites don't fall). Grease a bread pan and fill with "dough." Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Let completely cool before cutting or the bread will fall. Cut into 12 slices. I keep this bread in the freezer at all times to make sandwiches.
