Ingredients

3 large eggs
3 tbsp cream cheese (or Greek yogurt if preferred)
¼ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder for savory flair
Optional: 1 tbsp grated parmesan for texture
Optional: A sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Carefully separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls, ensuring no yolk mixes into the whites for proper whipping.
Step 3: In the yolk bowl, add the cream cheese, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy using a fork or hand mixer.
Step 4: Whip the egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form—peaks should stand firmly when the beaters are lifted.
Step 5: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in batches, maintaining as much airiness as possible.
Step 6: Spoon the mixture into 6 to 8 rounded shapes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
Step 7: Bake for 25–30 minutes until the breads are golden and puffed. Avoid opening the oven frequently. Allow them to cool for 5–10 minutes before handling.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the yolk mixture.
Substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a tangier taste and lighter texture.
Experiment with spices such as smoked paprika or cayenne for a twist.
Serve with a spread of avocado or your favorite low-carb toppings for a satisfying keto snack.

Storage

Store leftover bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To refresh, warm briefly in a toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds. These breads freeze well—wrap individually and keep in a freezer bag for up to one month. Thaw at room temperature before reheating.

How to Serve

The bread’s texture shows small air holes in the white inside, contrasting with the rich brown color of the crust. The roll rests on a white marbled surface that highlights its warm, fresh look.

FAQs

Can I use mayonnaise instead of cream cheese?

Mayonnaise can change the texture and flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, use it sparingly. Cream cheese or Greek yogurt will give better results for fluffiness and taste.

Why didn’t my egg whites form stiff peaks?

Make sure your bowl and beaters are clean and free from any fat or yolk. Use room temperature eggs and whip on medium-high speed until peaks stand firm. Any oil or yolk contamination can prevent proper whipping.
