MIM(muffin in minutes)

Great bread/muffin substitute!!  You can play with the seasoning for your taste.  These are my favorite kinds of MIM's.  All MIM's are friendly for all phases of Atkins:)
Photo above is a simple egg salad on top on a plain MIM.  Made MIM in square container.  Slice in half and toasted in the toaster. 
Plain MIM
1/4 cup flax meal( I use Bob's Mill organic golden flax meal)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Lg egg
1 tsp butter
1 Tbsp sour cream

Add all ingredients to a large coffee mug.  Mix well.  Microwave for 1 minute.  Check, if still wet on top, microwave for 30 more seconds. Plop on plate, slice, toast, add butter. You can use a bowl, square tupperware, etc to make different shapes.  I use a microwave square tupperware container, for a bread, just slice and toast just like bread.  Some seasoning I use garlic, parmesan cheese, parsley, basil.  The bread is great for sandwiches!!
