Bumping this thread; so much good information, and today I made this variation:

Jays Low Carb Croissants!

4 Egg Whites

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

3 Egg Yolks

1 Tsp Mrs Dash (original blend)

1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 scoop of 365 Brand vanilla whey protein shake (from whole foods) mix with 1/4 water

1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise

Method:

1. To the egg yolks add the Mayonnaise, Mrs dash, cheddar cheese and the vanilla shake and mix until uniform.
2. To the egg whites add the cream of tartar and whisk using a mixer as shown in the video.
3. Add the egg yolk mixture to the egg whites and fold in the mixture.
4. Using a large spoon, spoon mixture out to a try lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake for 35 minutes at 300 degrees
6. Turn oven off and leave in oven for another 5 minutes.
7. Then remove croissants and place on a wire rack to cool.
8. Let cool for about 10 minutes before eating.

This mixture will make 6 large croissants, Enjoy!

I noodled around with it: used 2 tbl parsley because I didn't have any Mrs Dash, and used a 1/4 cup of unflavored whey protein.

Also, I didn't have a muffin top pan (yet!) so I put six baking cups on the cookie sheet and filled those; worked pretty well. It was good that I had a silicone sheet on the pan, too, because there was some overflow.

I'm amazed at how good they are. I put them in the fridge; isn't there something about leaving them overnight in the fridge makes them better?

Anyway, I'm going to be doing a LOT of experimenting with this recipe now that I have a mixer that works!
