Low Carb/Keto Recipe Thread

Might be good for breakfast?

Holy Cow! The Keto Chicken Enchilada recipe is the delicious!

I followed the direction that Mike published, topped it with a little sour cream, chopped black olives and cilantro. The “spanish rice” is cauliflower rice with some sautéed onions, peppers, garlic and a little of the enchilada sauce. DH says we can have it every night. He gives it two thumbs up!

She made a good recipe better. Like I mentioned in my original, it lacked a lot to get me excited but she dressed it up a bit without adding a lot of carbs so it just gets better.

I didn't do anything special - it's easy to make a good meal when it starts with great recipe.

I was actually looking for a Flat Bread recipe when I came across this one. I added a bit of honey and some garlic salt and next time I'll add just Parmesan cheese. These are light and tasty and would work very well for a sandwich. We will try them next without the egg whites since I'm watching carbs, Teresa is watching cholesterol so we will work a trade off.

The Best No-Carb Cloud Bread with Only 4 Ingredients

Ingredients

1. 3 eggs, separated
2. 3 Tablespoons cream cheese (Room temp)
3. ¼ teaspoon baking powder
4. Optional: 1 Tablespoon Honey or some natural sweetener, salt, garlic powder, rosemary
   
   Instructions
5. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius)
6. Separate the eggs, there must be no yolk in the white.
7. In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese and honey until smooth.
8. In the second bowl add ¼ teaspoon of baking powder to the whites and beat the whites with the hand mixer on high speed until they are fluffy, form a nice peaks and hold their peaks. It should look something like this: (see photos above)
9. Slowly fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites and mix carefully, you don’t want to break the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
10. Do the following as quickly as possible or the mixture may start melting – Spoon the mixture into 10-12 even rounds onto lightly greased baking sheet, sprinkle with rosemary or your favorite spices and put it in the oven.
11. Bake for 18-20 minutes on the middle rack. Then broil (cook the top) for 1 minute or a minute and a half and watch it until they become nice and golden brown. At this point make sure you watch them so they don’t burn
    

Our next batch I'll try cooking at a higher temp and skip the broiler step since I want it firmer without worrying about the broiler burning the edges. Ours looked done but were a bit doughy but good.

This is what we had for brunch today.

Keto Egg Muffin Cups
Eggs (6)
Nitrate Free Shaved Turkey (6 slices)
Sliced Spinach (½ cup)
Red Pepper (3 tablespoons)
Mozzarella Cheese Light
Fresh Basil (optional)
Red Onion (2 table spoons, finely chopped)
Salt & Pepper
Directions :


1. Preheat the oven to 350°;
2. Slice the spinach, red onion, red pepper and basil and grate the mozzarella cheese.
3. Spray a nonstick muffin tin with olive oil spray ;
4. Gently drape the piece of turkey in one of the muffin cups so that it rests on the bottom and the sides of the tin to make a larger cup.
5. Carefully crack an egg and pour it into the turkey cup.
6. Add a little bit of sliced red onion, spinach, red pepper and cheese on top of the egg.
7. Add some fresh basil and grind a bit of fresh pepper and salt onto the egg.
8. Put the muffin tin in the oven and bake until eggs are set and the whites are opaque, about 10 minutes for a runny yolk and closer to 15 minutes for a harder one. Keep in mind that the egg muffins will cook for a bit longer when you take it out of the oven.

I only cooked 4 and 2 each were enough for us. I used turkey lunchmeat, but deli turkey would be better, it would be bigger slices. These were very good.

Thanks for the link, I printed the recipe and a chip recipe as well. Super Bowl is in February, gotta have chips and dip! LOL We are having our DD and family over on Sunday for hamburgers. We were going to go without the bun, but now I'll just make a cloud bread bun! Thanks!

I'll keep this one also. I can just leave out the yolk for Teresa and keep the cholesterol down.

Tonight we had chicken salad made with the other half of the rotisserie chicken I used for the Keto Enchilada's last night. Negligible carbs...but this post isn't about the chicken salad.

I had intended to make cloud bread today but never got to it. I had a bag of those really delicious multi-colored mini- peppers. I sliced 'em in half and stuffed 'em with the chicken salad.

Three peppers have 5 carbs. Really tasty holder for the chicken salad!
