CRUST:
3 eggs, separated
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup unflavored whey or egg white protein
3 ounces Cream cheese or sour cream, warmed
Spices (if desired)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Separate the eggs and whip the whites and cream of tartar until very stiff (I use a stand mixer and let it go for 5 minutes). Slowly sift in the whey protein to the whites. Using a spatula, gently fold the cream cheese into the whites. Spray a lasagna pan with coconut oil spray and spoon the mixture into it. Bake for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and top with your favorite toppings. *Adapted from Oopsie Rolls on Lighter Side of Low Carb blog. Makes 9 square slices.
