Meal prep
Feel free to make large batches of Cloud bread ahead of time so
you can make this delicious sandwich in no time. You can also
prepare bacon in large batches and keep ready made in an air-
tight container in your fridge for up to a week (as if bacon ever
lasted that long, huh?). Perfect for a snack or to use as a salad
topping, to add to your morning eggs or to a sandwich like this
one.

Protein note
With just 11 grams of protein (9%), this dish is a bit low on protein
for a meal. Feel free to serve it with cheese on the side, a hard
boiled egg, or even eat two BLTs! Or, for your next meal, you
might want to consider having a higher amount of protein.

Short term, a lower protein meal is not a problem, but over the
long term, eating too little protein can increase your feelings of

hunger and reduce satiety, leading to cravings or the urge to

snack. Over the very long-term, too little protein consumption can
lead to unwanted muscle and bone loss.

How to store cloud bread

The bread keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days or in the freezer for up
to 3 months. Put a layer of parchment paper between each bread
so they don't stick together. That way you can easily grab as
many as you need.

You can thaw frozen cloud bread at room temperature or in the

fridge. They taste their very best if you toast them once thawed
but you can also reheat them in the oven. Preheat to 300°F
(150°C) and place them on the rack for about five minutes.

Tomato tip
Some of the best slicing heirloom tomatoes are Beefsteak,
Brandywine, Mortgage Lifter, Cherokee Purple, and Black Krim.
Watch for these at your local farmers' market for a BLT upgrade!

How about mayo?

We think homemade mayo beats store bought versions any day
but sometimes you just don't have the time, energy or ingredients
to make it yourself. The ones you buy in the supermarkets can
vary in quality. Read the labels and try to steer clear of brands
using sugar and soybean oil.
