Protein Sparing Bread Crostini
Ingredients
PROTEIN SPARING BREAD:
- 12 large egg whites separated from whole eggs
- ¼ cup powdered Allulose
- 1/4 cup Further Food gelatin
- ½ teaspoon Redmond Real Salt
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar to help stabilize the whites
- 1 cup unflavored egg white protein powder
- Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Spray
CROSTINI:
- 1/4 cup Primal Kitchen Olive Oil
- 4 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Mayo
- 3 slices sugar free bacon cut into 1 inch pieces and cooked until crispy
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1/2 cup Lettuce shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Separate the eggs (save the yolks for another recipe like my keto ice cream, hollandaise, mayo or lemon curd), and place the whites into a large bowl or stand mixer. Add the allulose, gelatin, salt and cream of tartar if using and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff.
- Turn the mixer to low and gently mix the egg white protein powder into the whites.
- Place a piece of parchment onto a rimmed baking sheet OR Click HERE to find the baguette pan I used. Spray the parchment with Primal Kitchen Avocado oil spray and use a spatula to form 2 long baguettes shapes (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 12 inches long) with the protein sparing bread mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Turn oven off and leave bread in the oven for 15 minutes to avoid the bread from falling.
- Let completely cool before cutting or the bread will fall.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
- To make the BLT Crostini, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice protein sparing bread into ½" thick slices.
- Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the Primal Kitchen Olive Oil into a small dish.
- Brush the olive oil on both sides of each piece of protein bread.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until golden and toasted, flip, and bake for another 4-5 minutes or until bread is crisp.
- Remove from oven and top with a smear of primal kitchen mayo, shredded lettuce, diced tomato and pieces of cooked bacon.
- Best served fresh.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“Every morning when I get up I thank God for Maria and Craig Emmerich !
I will never be able to convey my thanks for showing me the way to lose weight. I tried every diet possible, I was in TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly)at the age of 12, I tried WW, and a few other well known diet programs. None of them ever worked long term. I’d lose a few pounds and gain it right back.
Wish I could send you a huge bouquet of flowers Maria, but once again I will just send you my thanks and deepest gratitude!
I don’t have many pictures of myself at 420+ pounds. So I have to go way back to find pictures to share.
Hit 200 pounds this morning. I have to say it feels unbelievable!” – Felicia

The link to your baguette pan doesn’t seem to be working. I click and nothing happens.
Sorry about that. Here it is: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/baguette-pans/
I updated the link above too 🙂
Hi there,
I’m curious as to the evolution in thought from Jay Robb Egg White Protein, to Keto Chow and now there doesn’t appear to be a preference. Which is best? Are there any differences?
Many thanks
Monica
Both are good options. I worked with Keto Chow to formulate the PERFECT egg white protein powder for my recipes, so we prefer that one: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/ketochow/
Maria could you please explain what protein sparing refers to ?
Newbie here
Thank you
It means high protein, very low fat. It’s a way to reduce your fat and calorie intake for weight loss while still getting enough protein to maintain lean mass. It’s a method we recommend 1-3 days a week for accelerated weight loss. Read more here: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/5-types-of-fasting-which-one-is-best-for-you/
