I have found so many tasty and amazing recipes I wanted to share with my friends and fellow Low Carbers. This is not all my own recipes but a gathering from many books, blogs, websites, magazines and even TV shows. Enjoy!

SPINACH CHEESE FLATBREAD

I used about 250g frozen spinach and defrosted it in the microwave. 
Squeeze the water out of the defrosted spinach.
Use 5 large eggs
1 1/2 cups grated cheese
salt and black pepper
1t garlic powder
1t mixed Italian herbs
and a pinch of paprika

-Mix the ingredients well
-Spread onto parchment paper in a baking tray
-Bake in a preheated oven on 180dC until brown and crisp.











It was surprising tasty. When it came out of the oven my first thought was that it tasted a bit eggy. After it cooled down and I made a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cold meat and mayonnasie it was so good.
