Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tbsp cream cheese (or Greek yogurt as an alternative)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Optional Ingredients
- ½ tsp garlic powder for savory flair
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan for added texture
- A sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning
- 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 and yolks into two clean bowls. Avoid getting any yolk into the whites to ensure proper whipping.
- Mix the Yolks: In the yolk bowl, add cream cheese, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy using a fork or preferably a hand mixer for a silky consistency.
- Beat the Whites: Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This means when lifting the whisk, the peaks stand up firmly without collapsing.
- Combine Gently: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture a little at a time. Use a light hand to keep the batter airy and fluffy.
- Scoop and Shape: Using a spoon, scoop the batter into 6 to 8 rounds on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Aim for a burger-bun size and leave enough space for spreading.
- Bake It Up: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the bread rounds are golden and puffed. Avoid opening the oven frequently to prevent deflating. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before handling.
Notes
- Make sure no yolk gets into the egg whites for best volume.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and ease cleanup.
- The lower baking temperature prevents browning and helps the bread puff up properly.
- Be gentle when folding to retain as much air as possible for fluffiness.
- These breads are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Optional seasonings like garlic powder, parmesan, or everything bagel seasoning add great flavor variations.
