KETO FRENCH TOAST STICKS!

The ketogenic diet is a low carb, high fat eating pattern that many people turn to in order to reach their weight loss goals.Tracking your carbs and eating healthy while cutting weight doesn’t have to be so lackluster. Everyone loves a hearty french toast breakfast, and now you can enjoy it without the carbs! Try out my variation on the popular keto “egg loaf” recipe, fried up into perfectly crispy french toast sticks! 

Serves: 6

Per serving: 300 calories 26g F / 2g C (net) / 11g P / 0.5g fiber / 1.5g sugar

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 eggs
• 8 oz. package cream cheese
• 1/4 cup salted butter

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easier removal.

7. Heat a Tbsp of butter in a skillet over low-medium heat. Fry sticks in batches, turning until golden brown on all sides.
