Lard Sandwiches

Servings 18
Calories

Ingredients
  

  • 12 eggs separated
  • 1 cup unflavored egg white protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder optional
  • TOPPINGS:
  • 1 TBS lard per sandwich
  • 1 TBS tomatoes
  • sprinkling of your favorite herb

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Separate the eggs (save the yolks), and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff (I use a stand mixer on high for a few minutes).
  • Gently mix the protein powder into the whites.
  • Slowly fold the reserved egg yolks into the whites (making sure the whites don't fall).
  • Grease a bread pan with coconut oil spray and fill with "dough."
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let completely cool before cutting or the bread will fall. Cut into slices.
  • I keep this bread in the freezer at all times to make sandwiches.
  • OPTION: Make bread into 18 buns on a greased cookie sheet.
  • To make the sandwich, spread each slice with lard (this is how my grandpa would eat it)
  • but to fancy it up: Fry on hot frying pan until golden brown and top with tomatoes and herbs.
