Makes 6 servings

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 7- by 11-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Combine the eggs, butter, cream cheese, sweetener, and cinnamon in a blender and blend on high for about 1 minute, until smooth. Alternatively, you can beat the ingredients in a bowl with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 40 minutes, until it’s golden brown on the top. Cut into 4 pieces and serve.

Place any leftovers in a zip-top plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave.
