Steps:
- Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Scrape the cheese into a food processor with the egg and process until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and process until a dough forms. It is very sticky! If it's too sticky to handle, let it cool for a few minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 F and place rack into the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place cheap-o metal pan at the bottom of the oven.
- Divide into 5 equal pieces. Lightly oil hands and roll each portion into a ball. Drop onto the parchment paper and gently flatten slightly with your hand, while still retaining a domed shape. (You will have to experiment with how much to flatten because it's hard to explain accurately.)
- Place 6 ice cubes in the metal pan at the bottom of the oven. Then place the rolls into the oven. This will help the rolls rise and spread.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the outside has browned. They will still be soft, so let them cool before removing from the baking sheet. Once cool, store in a bag in the refrigerator. Warm slightly to enjoy.
- Keep burger buns in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They keep for 7-10 days and also freeze well. Makes 5 small burger buns.*

VERY LOW-CARB HAMBURGER BUN!
I found this recipe on a low-carb forum when Googling different low-carb websites--it sounds crazy, but the end result is amazing! To quote the original post: "This makes a wonderful hamburger bun, it tastes like a whole wheat bun. It's very sturdy and holds up well with all the juiciness of a hamburger with all the fixings." Note: you may need to add more ground flaxseed/flaxseed meal--the consistently of the "stuff" pre-microwaved should be thick and sort of pasty, like brownie batter, not liquidy.

- Once it has cooled take a long bread knife and slice the bun in half and make your hamburger as usual.
"HAMBURGER" BUNS (ZERO CARB!)
These mock "Hamburger" buns are amazingly bread-like in texture (and taste!) and are suitable for all phases of The Dukan Diet! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Since the sides that were facing the pan are perfectly flat, you use these to spread things on, or make sandwiches, or even as a burger bun! My favorite is spreading cream cheese on both sides (like a sandwich) and stuffing with a freshly poached egg...delish!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or 175 Celcius).
- Separate your eggs making sure there is absolutely no yolk in the white mixture.
- In a small bowl, mix together egg yolks, cottage cheese, and sweetener until creamy.
- In a larger bowl, add egg whites and cream of tartar and beat the whites with an electric mixer on high until fluffy. You want this mixture to be well whipped and quite stiff - under mixing will result in a very runny mixture.
- Carefully fold egg yolk mixture into the egg whites with a large spatula, until evenly mixed. Try not to over-mix, you don't want to loose the 'fluffiness' of the egg whites mixture.
- Spray two cookie sheets with Pam (or fat-free cooking spray).
- With a large spoon "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
- Place cookie sheet the middle rack and set timer for 20 minutes. Now you will need to watch them, because the cooking time may vary on any two batches. Basically, you want them to bake until they become nice and golden brown color (the color of a McDonalds bun).
- Remove from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
Tips:
- Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
- Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately, as this will affect the final product.
- Follow the recipe instructions carefully, especially when it comes to baking times and temperatures.
- If you are new to baking, it is helpful to have a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to create your own unique recipes.
