Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) cream cheese, softened
Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage for easy removal.
- Utilize a blender to create a homogeneous mixture by combining eggs, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Carefully pour the blended egg mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined sheet, spreading it evenly to form a thin, uniform layer that will transform into delicate noodle-like strips.
- Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C), allowing the egg mixture to bake for approximately 12 minutes until the edges turn a subtle golden hue and the center becomes completely set.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the egg sheet cool for a few minutes, which will help stabilize its structure and make cutting easier.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the cooled egg sheet into thin, elongated strips resembling traditional pasta noodles.
- Serve the keto noodles immediately with your preferred low-carb sauce such as Alfredo or marinara, or incorporate them into a quick stir-fry for a versatile meal option.
Notes
- Experiment with seasoning by adding herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme to enhance the noodle flavor without adding carbs.
- Create uniform noodle strips by using a ruler or pizza cutter for precise, even cutting to ensure consistent cooking.
- Prevent moisture by patting the noodle sheet dry with paper towels before cutting to maintain a firmer texture and avoid sogginess.
- Store leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating gently to preserve their delicate structure.
