Another Linda Sue classic!! This recipe can be used for sandwiches, burgers, or as a 'bread/dumpling substitute' in other recipes like this chicken & dumplings recipe:

IMPROVED REVOLUTION ROLLS

4 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
Pinch salt
3 ounces cream cheese, softened


Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, Splenda, salt and cream cheese with a mixer until smooth. Gradually fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites being careful not to deflate the whites. Spray a baking sheet or muffin top pan with cooking spray. Divide the mixture into 6 mounds then flatten them slightly. Bake at 300º 30 minutes or until lightly browned on top but soft and not dry and crisp. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes then cool completely on a rack. Store in an airtight bag in the refrigerator.

Makes 6 rolls

    Does that really say .5 net carbs???
    I have just started making MIMs, being afraid to add "bread" back into my WOE because that is my carb weakness. So far so good, I will try this also.
    I love baking, cooking and this helps my creative streak.

    Yep it's that low because it's basically just egg whites and cream cheese. Bakes up into totally useable bread (though different than regular bread of course). Can also be used to make french toast, or if you just make a batch in a baking dish, can be turned into sponge/angel food cake for strawberry shortcake.
