Need your sandwich fix, but want to avoid all that wheat and bloating? Here's the next best thing...
INGREDIENTS
- 3 x egg whites
- 2 x tbsp. flaxseed meal
- 1 x tbsp of nut flour (almond, hazelnut or coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon of baking powder
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper to season
- Sandwich fillings; Dijon mustard, pickles and chicken breast
METHOD
- Beat 3 egg whites until you can form peaks. If you add a pinch of salt and/or lemon drops you can get this texture easily.
- Add 2 tbsp of flaxseed meal, 1 tbsp of nut flour (almond, hazelnut or coconut flour) and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Optional: pepper, dried herbs, garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavour.
- Preheat the oven to 180. Put baking paper on a baking tray. Spread 4/5 drops of olive oil with a napkin. Distribute the mix evenly with a spatula (trying not to press down as this will make the mix loose air).
- Bake for approximately 5-8 minutes or until the surface turns golden. In the meantime, prepare another baking paper. Flip sides and bake for an extra 5 minutes. The texture should be moist and foamy, so stay close and try not to overcook it.
- After cooling down, remove the paper carefully.
- Slice gently. Spread Dijon mustard, sugar-free dill pickles and chicken breast or a preferred filling of your choice.
