Instructions
Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Separate the egg white from the egg yolk and put them in two different bowls.
Add the cream cheese to the bowl with the egg yolk. Add the lemon zest, vanilla, and erythritol. Mix until smooth.
Separate the eggs and add the egg whites to the bowl with the egg white left over from the filling. Set aside the egg yolks using the shell as a little bowl.
Add the lemon juice to the egg whites and start whisking using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, and add in the erythritol. Keep beating until stiff peaks form.
Fold the egg yolks into the mixture using a silicone spatula.
Sift in the almond flour and coconut flour and gently combine with the egg white mixture without deflating it.
Grease an ovenproof 8" (20 cm) skillet with butter or ghee and heat it over medium heat. Pour in the fluffy pancake mixture, and then cook on low heat for 1 min.
Spoon the filling into the middle of the pancake and spread evenly, leaving about an inch (2.5 cm) on the sides.
Add the sliced strawberries, transfer the skillet to the oven, and bake for 20 minutes or until the pancake is golden and the filling is set. Optionally, dust with powdered sweetener before serving.

I had blueberries on hand so i used those. It was good, easy to make. Ate some while warm. Will try some later when it’s cold.

The recipe sound great. I am sensitive to erythritol. This recipe would have a tablespoon per serving. That amount would produce loose bowels for me. How little could I use?

The amount of sweetener "needed" for the recipe will vary greatly based on personal taste. You could experiment with other low carb friendly sweeteners in its place though!

Want to try this - so have printed the recipe. Why don't your printed recipes allow the photo to appear any more??? It's a real downer in my book as I have to rely on memory!

Made this last night and it was very good! The only change was I had allulose on hand instead of erythritol. I also liked how pretty it looked without having to do much. Next time I might try slicing the stawberries thin and covering most of the cream cheese area. That way you get a little strawberry in every bite.
