Low Carb Stuffed French Toast



4 Kimkins Protein Rolls
4 oz low fat cream cheese
1 egg, beaten
4 tablespoons Davinci blueberry sugar free syrup
4 tablespoons Walden Farms 0 calorie pancake syrup
1 tablespoon "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" margarine
1 tablespoon light cream
1-2 packets Splenda

In a small bowl mix cream cheese, blueberry syrup and Splenda together.

In another microwave safe bowl, mix Walden Farms maple syrup and butter. Nuke on MEDIUM for 30-60 seconds or until margarine is melted. Stir and set aside.

Slice a pocket through the side of each egg bread slice. Spoon 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture inside each pocket. In a shallow dish, mix beaten egg with cream.

Treat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat on MEDIUM. Dip each French toast slice into the egg mixture on each side, then place in the skillet.

Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and repeat. When both sides are browned, move to a heated plate and drizzle pancake syrup. Serve hot & enjoy!

Kimkins Low Carb Bread Recipe

We've got quite a few low carb bread recipes in the Kimkins Recipe Box -- garlic bread, vanilla rolls and cream puffs.  But here's a quick & easy basic recipe for every day that you'll love!

Try this quick and tasty low carb bread when you've got a yen for a sandwich.  Follow Tripledose's advice and make a double or triple batch and freeze the extras.  Insert a square of waxed paper between each one so they don't stick.



I always make at least 3 batches when I'm making it as I don't want to be making it every few days!

  • 3 eggs (separated)
  • 3 tablespoon cottage cheese (ricotta OK)
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tarter
  • 1 pkg artificial sweetener
Preheat oven to 300 F. 

In a metal bowl mix the egg whites and the cream of tarter until stiff (you can turn the bowl upside down and it won't fall out).

In my Magic Bullet (now now...get your mind out of the gutter) I mix the egg yolks, cottage cheese and sweetener. Add the yolk mixture to the egg whites and mix.

Spoon onto a Pam sprayed cooking sheet (I use parchment paper ... less mess) in 6 piles. Bake for 1 hour. You can freeze these, too.

You see why I make more than one batch, as this only makes 6 "slices" of bread...
