Sundried Tomato, Olive, Onion, and Artichoke Heart Low Carb, High-Protein Mock Focaccia

Where does the time go? Among other things, at least I got in a great workout this morning, and today I also made this recipe. Barbara a.k.a Protein Girl made some great suggestions for this recipe, and I had to try this out! I like it! And boyfriend approved!

Ingredients:

  • 3 scoops Jay Robb Unflavored Whey Powder
  • ¼ cup low sodium, low fat cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp Dijon style mustard
  • 1 can sliced olives
  • 1 can artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 package extra moist sundried tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • a ton of Italian seasoning
  • a little pepper

I preheated the oven to 400 and sautéed the onion with the garlic. While sautéing the onions, mix in a bowl the protein powder, egg whites, cottage cheese, mustard, seasonings, and veggies. Add the sautéed onions and garlic. Then mix it all up, pour into a sprayed pan, and throw in the oven for about 20 minutes. Cut into thin slices. Nice to toast before serving. Nice snack! Also, excellent when served with spaghetti squash and extra lean turkey meatballs. Makes 16 slices. Yum!

    That looks really good!! Although, the only time I ever had an artichoke heart was when I ordered it on a sandwich once.. and it so slimy and rubbery!! Are they always like that??

    My God, this sounds good! A couple of questions: what approx. size is the ‘scoop’ of plain
    protein powder you’re using? What size pan are you baking it in?

    BTW, just made your Spinach Protein Bread this morning (but with sundried tomatoes).
    Very good!

      Hi Susan!

      Regarding the size of the scoop- it was about 30 grams. As for the pan size, when I made the regular mock focaccia or the spinach one, I put it in a small rectangular type of pan that produces a LOAF. For this time, though, I wanted to make a larger quantity so I used a large rectangular one, so the “bread” came out much thinner, which was fine. With the load kind, I would def recommend slicing it in half lengthwise so that each slice is pretty thin. This time around, I didn’t do it, because the “bread” wasn’t thick enough to cut that way.

      I am so glad you liked your spinach sundried tomato protein bread! 🙂
      Have a wonderful day!
