Ok, this recipe was "pinned" over 100,000 times. Yikes!!

Read the reviewers' notes-- some had made this as a loaf, squares etc. Added garlic, herbs etc.

Sounds like an overnight rest after baking is best.

Carb Free Bread

Ingredients

3 eggs, separated

3 tablespoons whole milk cottage cheese or 3 tablespoons cream cheese

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Separate the eggs very carefully, there must be no yolk in the white.

In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the 3 T. of Cottage Cheese OR Cream Cheese and the one packet of Sweetener until smooth.

In the other bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form VERY stiff peaks.

Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.

Spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray.

With a large spoon, "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).

Bake on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them, because the cooking time is somewhere around 1/2 hour, but it could be less or more. You just need to watch them until them become nice and golden brown (again, the color of a McDonalds bun).

Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board.

While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. If you do not like softer chewy bread, then eat them as they are, nice and crisp.

Wow. You are reading my mind. I was wondering if this was possible as a...

...variation of the blender pancakes recipe Richard offered awhile back.

Very interesting, as Arte Johnson used to say.
