Savoury Keto Meringue Bites
Savoury Keto bites are rare on our website, but when we make them – they are top bombs! 😉 Well, of course, they have to be equally tasty as sweet creation. In many cases, they are even tastier and refreshing. This particular recipe was created as a result of saving the egg-whites. When working with clients, Apollonas often has to deal with sugar and snacking addiction that clients bring from their pre-Keto lifestyle. Instead of recommending using sweetener, he just tries including savoury and salty bites. These savoury bites, in particular, can serve for this purpose.
What to do with the remaining yolks?
With the nutritious yolks, you can’t go wrong. You can use them to thicken soup, sauce or mayonnaise… There are numerous ways to benefit from yolks, here’s a great recipe! You can also make a wonderful filling with yolks for these bites if you want to experiment! Spices and butter are all you need to add!
Enough of sweets and desserts, let’s make some savoury Keto bites!
So, this recipe was a creation that actually saved loads of egg whites and served as an ideal meal replacement on a day I had to travel and couldn’t prepare anything at home. Interestingly, the same crunchiness and fluffiness remained on the next day. So, if you make these a day before your trip, you’ll be enjoying them on-the-go!
The trick to perfect meringue
Before you start, have the egg whites at room temperature. Take them out of the refrigerator at least 2 hours before beating them. Then add a good source of acidity and a good amount of sea salt. Even if you are making them sweet, you’ll want your salt! Usually, the recipe calls for apple cider vinegar, but I wanted something stronger in acidity but with no smell so I added a bit of citric acid. The rest is described in the recipe.
If you are struggling to find the way of using excess egg whites, you’ll love this recipe! Don’t worry, I took care of the macros and I made them into perfect Keto bites that can serve both as a meal replacement, or addition to a well-assembled Keto meal at home. Have some smoked salmon, an avocado or a few olives with them and get energised and inspired!
