🧾 Ingredients
Basic Zero-Carb Version
4 large eggs (room temperature)
200g cream cheese (full fat, softened)
½ teaspoon cream of tartar (or a few drops of lemon juice)
1 pinch salt
Optional Flavor Additions
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon grated parmesan (adds crispness)
Black pepper to taste
🥣 Formation (How It’s Structured)
This recipe works because of separation and aeration:
Egg whites → whipped into stiff peaks (creates volume & structure)
Egg yolks + cream cheese → smooth creamy base
Gentle folding → keeps the air inside
The result? A fluffy, bread-like texture without flour.
🔪 Preparation Method
Step 1 – Preheat
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2 – Separate Eggs
Carefully separate egg whites from yolks into two bowls.
Step 3 – Whip the Whites
Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form. (When you lift the mixer, the peaks should stand straight.)
Step 4 – Mix Yolks
In the second bowl:
Add egg yolks
Add cream cheese
Add salt & optional spices
Mix until completely smooth.
Step 5 – Folding (Very Important)
Gently fold the whipped whites into the yolk mixture. Do not overmix — keep it airy.
Step 6 – Shape
Spoon mixture into round bread shapes on the tray OR spread flat for sandwich bread.
Step 7 – Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden on top. Let cool before removing.
