Ingredients
  

PROTEIN SPARING BREAD:

BRUSCHETTA:

  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

  • Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese or Sliced Fresh Mozzarella
  • Diced Fresh Tomatoes
  • Fresh Basil Leaves
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

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 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 bruschetta, 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 Olive Oil into a small dish. Add the garlic and stir well.
  • 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. Top each slice of bruschetta with a sprinkle of parmesan. Place back into the oven for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with diced tomatoes, basil and red pepper flakes if desired.
  • Best served fresh.
