Ingredients
Basic Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tbsp cream cheese (or Greek yogurt alternative)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Optional Add-ins
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- Sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks into two clean bowls, ensuring no yolk contaminates the whites for proper whipping.
- Mix the Yolks: To the yolks, add cream cheese, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy using a fork or hand mixer.
- Beat the Whites: Whip the egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form, meaning the peaks stand up firmly when the beaters are lifted.
- Combine (Gently!): Fold the whipped egg whites gently into the yolk mixture in batches, preserving as much air as possible to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Scoop and Shape: Spoon the batter into 6 to 8 round mounds on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space for slight spreading.
- Bake It Up: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the breads are golden and puffed. Avoid opening the oven frequently. Once out, let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring.
Notes
- Ensure egg whites are free from yolk for optimal volume.
- Whip egg whites to stiff peaks to achieve fluffiness.
- Fold gently to preserve air and prevent deflation.
- Always use parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Variations include adding shredded cheese, spices, vanilla, or using as mini pizza bases.
- Store bread in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Freeze breads with parchment between each slice and reheat before serving.
