Ingredients
6 Egg Whites - Beaten until stiff
2 Tbsp Tapioca Flour 1 1/2 Cups Finely Grated Tasty Cheese 1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour or Almond Meal 2 Tbsp Psyllium Husks Dash of Garlic & Herb salt or other herbs and spices to taste. *Extra Salt or herbs to taste if you want it with a savoury flavour. Can add rosemary, oregano, basil, or Parsley for different flavours. You can even add chiles, sundried tomatoes etc. The varieties are endless depending on what you feel like! |
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 170 Degrees.
STEP ONE: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and peaks form, add in the tapioca flour and continue to beat until the egg white is even stiffer.
STEP TWO: Grate the Tasty Cheese and add this to the top of the egg whites. Also add in the Almond flour, Psyllium husks, and herbs and spices.
STEP THREE: Lightly fold the mixture together - it will shrink in size and the egg whites will lose most of their fluffiness, this is ok.
STEP FOUR: Spread evenly on a silicone baking mat on a baking tray and place in the oven for 20 minutes approx. Once the top has turned lightly golden, take the tray out of the oven and flip over the baked square so that the bottom has a chance to slowly dry out and cook through just like the top. - This helps to cook it evenly and ensure it is well dried through if you want a crunchier bread stick texture. Cook for a further 10 minutes or so until lightly golden brown, then turn the oven off and leave the door open while it dries out further without overcooking.
STEP FIVE: Let cool on the tray and then cut into finger size strips for cheesy bread sticks - can alternatively be eaten in larger chunks - or all at once! I often like this dipped in some kind of dip, or with cream cheese and avocado on it. Its also great dunked in runny boiled eggs for breakfast, or paired with scrambled eggs.
You can adapt this recipe in many different ways! Have fun and enjoy!
