Breakfast Bar (high protein, high fat)
 

Set oven to 375 degrees

8 oz cooked meat (chicken, pork, beef) diced finely
8 oz grated cheddar cheese (or other)
8 eggs
Mix well in a bowl

1 cup low carb baking mix (or even whole wheat flour
1TBSP baking powder
appropriate seasonings for meat and cheese
sprinkle baking mix and powder over the first ingredients
mix vigorously
maybe 1/2 cup water or broth stirred in, mixture should not be too stiff

Pour into an appropriate baking container. I use a 9 inch square cake tin, and line with parchment paper and spray oil.

Bake until center is 200 degrees, about 45 minutes

Cut into 16 bars, each bar will have about 100 calories. Carbs: 1/2 grams from eggs, and 1/16th of whatever baking mix you used.

Take out the faux (or real) flour and that's meat loaf. :D

But they freeze and then thaw in the microwave so well! Texture is definitely muffin like - which makes them a little more breakfast like.

Probably more cheese and eggs that most meatloaves, but definitely in the family.

LOL! :lol:

I'm still making these. But I food-process the meat, it improves texture. I now use white flour, I decided I can tolerate a small amount of wheat, and it also improves texture.

The French lady in our condo likes them, and compares these bars to a variation of quiche!

Who knew a meatloaf and quiche are in the same family?

Hi Robb; I didn't think your recipe looks like meat loaf at all. Certainly not the kind of meat loaf I make ;)
Yes, I can see the comparison to quiche ... especially with all those eggs. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
