Zero-Carb Savory Egg & Cream Cheese SpreadĀ 

A creamy, fluffy, protein-packed spread thatā€™s naturally very low in carbs, flour-free, and perfect for keto or low-carb lifestyles. Great as a dip, sandwich filling (lettuce wraps), or side dish.

āš ļø Note: ā€œZero carbā€ is a common phrase, but eggs and dairy contain trace carbs. This recipe is very low carb (ā‰ˆ1g net carb per serving), not absolute zero.
