Butter
Sugar Free Maple Syrup (a great brand to use is Vermont Sugar Free Low Calorie Syrup by Maple Grove (maplegrove.com) -5 grams of carbs per 1/4 cup)

Whisk the eggs, cream, vanilla and salt together. Heat butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour the "batter" in the pan and cook until the surface is mostly set, then flip it and cook about another minute (the pancake will look sortof like a crepe).

Ater cooking all the cakes, melt some more butter in the pan and pour over each serving, then top off with syrup.

These are SO GOOD - they taste like French toast!!! I hope you think so, too.



I tried this on my kid tonight. I used:

6 eggs (large)
2 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup cream
4 drops sweetzfree
1/4 tsp maple extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp flax seed meal

My crepe pan is 8" and it would have done ok as a crepe but instead, as soon as it was hot all over but not cooked yet on the bottom really, I used a soft spatula to scrape it all up. It's like half liquid and half nearly-solid at that point and I was able to basically chop it up and then gather it at one side of the pan (kind of in an omelette shape) with the liquid held by the more solid portions until it all was cooking through, but was about 10x as thick as it is as a crepe.

What this basically creates is "a solid piece of scrambled egg", except the cream cheese/cream/maple/sweet obviously change the taste a lot, and make the 'browning' of it a good thing. I put cold butter pats on it to melt, and then had a tiny dish of walden farms SF maple syrup.

So we cut a bite of egg, dipped it in syrup, tried it out. I recall it was good. Unfortunately my 11 year old ate the entire rest of the recipe so I didn't get any beyond one bite. I had to make taco plates for us later so I wouldn't starve. According to her, "I never want to eat scrambled eggs any other way than this."
