Mediterranean Flax Bread




I used the Atkins Muffin in a Minute (MiM) recipe as a base for this "bread". Because of the grainy texture of the mim's I prefer baking them in the oven. I use this 'bread' to make grilled cheese sandwiches or as toast. I got 28 slices out of the entire loaf. If you plan on making grilled cheese sandwiches with them you will probably use 4 slices per person. That is why I gave the nutritional info per serving of 4 slices.

Servings: 7
