๐งพ Ingredients (8 slices)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3 oz (85g) cream cheese or vegan cream cheese alternative
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Salt, to taste
๐จ๐ณ Instructions — Step by Step
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whip egg whites: Separate egg whites from yolks. Add cream of tartar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Mix yolks: In another bowl, combine egg yolks with cream cheese, salt, and optional garlic powder until smooth.
- Fold together: Gently fold egg whites into yolk mixture, keeping it airy and light.
- Shape: Spoon or pipe mixture into 8 round mounds on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and firm. Let cool completely before slicing or using as buns.
- Make sure the mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and dry before whipping egg whites.
- Do not overfold the egg whites — you want to keep the air for fluffiness.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
- For savory flavor, add garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
- Cool completely before using — warm bread can collapse easily.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

- Is this bread gluten-free?
- Absolutely! There is no wheat or gluten in this recipe, making it perfect for keto and gluten-free diets.
