Sizzling-Lowcarb: Mediterranean Flax Bread:

"I used the Atkins Muffin in a Minute (MiM) recipe as a base for this "bread". Because of the grainy texture of the mim's I prefer baking them in the oven. I use this 'bread' to make grilled cheese sandwiches or as toast. I got 28 slices out of the entire loaf. If you plan on making grilled cheese sandwiches with them you will probably use 4 slices per person. That is why I gave the nutritional info per serving of 4 slices."

Servings: 7 Yield: 28 slices

4.4 oz Butter ( 125 gram) at room temperature 8 egg (medium) 1½ cup  ground flax 2 tsp cream of tartar ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp parsley ½ tsp thyme ½ tsp oregano ½ tsp salt ½ tsp Splenda (optional) ¼ tsp pepper butter or oil to grease the baking form

1    Use an electrical mixer to beat the butter until it is creamy. 2 Add the eggs one by one. Do not add another until the previous one is completely mixed 3 mix the dry ingredients in another bowl 4 Add the dry mix ¼ cup at a time through the eggs and butter mix. 5 Preheat your oven at 320°F (160°C) 6 Put the batter into a greased loaf tin or cake form 9.5 inch (24 cm) 7 Let it rest for 5 minutes 8 Bake the "bread" for about 35-45 minutes. Let it cool down and slice into very thin slices. 9 Use them to make grilled cheese sandwiches or just eat as 'bread' or toast.

Tips You can freeze this as individual slices or completely
