INGREDIENTS
6 Eggs, divided into yolks and whites
1 (6 oz) container Plain not fat Greek yogurt (about 3/4 cup) or silk non dairy yogurt
1/2 cup Protein powder
1/4 tsp Garlic powder
1/4 tsp Onion powder
1/8-1/4 tsp Salt (depending on your taste)
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
Topping
1 tsp Dried oregano (or herb/spice of choice, such as rosemary)
Optional: 1-2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
The estimated total time to make this recipe is 40-45 Minutes.
Preheat oven 300 degrees. Spray 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. Let the eggs and yogurt come to room temperature.
Separate your eggs, putting the egg yolks into a medium size bowl, and the egg whites into a metal mixing stand bowl.
Mix the egg yolks together with the greek yogurt or non dairy yogurt, protein powder, seasonings, and baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
Beat the egg whites with a kitchen aid stand mixer until firm peaks form (it will resemble whipped cream. I added 1/2 tsp cream of tarter to the egg whites in order to form a more stiff peak).
Fold the egg yolk mixture in with the egg white mixture. (Note: you don’t want to over-mix, just fold everything together gently until combined, or you will break down and deflate the egg whites.
Spread mixture out evenly into pan. Top with dried oregano and parmesan cheese if using. Bake for 40 minutes or until top is golden brown.
**For loaf bread: Spray a large loaf pan with cooking spray. Spread mixture evenly into loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes.
