Creamy Baked Egg Loaf (Low-Carb French Toast Style)
Ingredients:
- 8 large eggs
- 1 block (8 oz / ~225g) cream cheese, softened
- 4 teaspoons butter, softened or melted
- 1 splash vanilla extract (about 1/2 teaspoon)
Optional Additions (diabetic-friendly):
- 1–2 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth
- A pinch of salt to enhance flavor
- Sugar-free sweetener (like stevia or erythritol), if desired
- Lemon zest or orange zest for brightness
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl or blender, combine eggs, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Blend or whisk until the mixture is very smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden on top and set in the middle (a toothpick should come out clean).
- Let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to firm up for easier slicing.
- Slice into pieces like you would with bread.
- For a French toast vibe: Toast slices on a skillet or pan over medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides.
- Serve warm, topped with your favorite sugar-free syrup, berries, or even a dollop of whipped cream (sugar-free).
