Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch salt (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and gather your tools: a mixing bowl, an electric mixer, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites on medium speed until large bubbles form, about 1 minute.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whip until smaller bubbles form and the egg whites are fluffy.
- Gently fold in the softened cream cheese until just combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Sprinkle in the baking powder and add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Pour the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and shape it into a loaf or mound.
- Bake for around 25 minutes or until golden and slightly firm on the outside.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature egg whites. Experiment with flavors like garlic powder for a savory version or vanilla for a sweet treat. Store in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for a month.
