Ingredients
Scale
3 large eggs, separated
3 tbsp cream cheese (softened) or Greek yogurt
¼ tsp cream of tartar
1 tbsp granulated sugar or honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
¼ tsp salt
Optional Flavor Additions
½ tsp garlic powder or dried herbs for savory bread
1 tsp vanilla extract for a sweeter version
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat until stiff peaks form. (Think glossy and firm like meringue!)
- Mix Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, softened cream cheese (or yogurt), sugar, and salt until smooth. Add any optional flavors here.
- Fold Gently: Gradually fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites. Use a spatula and gentle motions to keep the mixture airy.
- Shape and Bake: Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 rounds. Spread slightly with a spatula to shape.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the bread is firm to the touch.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cool completely before removing from the parchment. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
