Total Time: 35 mins

Serves: 3 (sets of 2)

Per serving: 120 calories, 7 g protein, 1 g carbohydrates, 10 g fat

Ingredients

Eggs - 3 large

Cream Cheese  - 3 tablespoons, at room temperature.

Cream of Tartar - 1/4 teaspoon

Spices - onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, salt - you can be creative.  This "bread" is versatile.  It will take on the flavors that you add.  We want this bread to be savory, opposed to sweet, so we are adding salt and spices.

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Separate egg yolks from egg whites.

3.  With an electric mixer, mix together cream cheese and egg yolks.

4.  In a medium bowl, add egg whites and cream of tartar.  With an electric mixer, mix egg whites until it peaks.  This is a very important step.  If you don't get this mixture firm, then the recipe won't work.  Make sure your egg mixture is firm!

5.  Gently fold the egg white "fluff" into the egg yolk mixture.  Do this in about 3 batches.  You want to try to keep your egg white mixture fluffy by folding the mixture into the egg yolks.

6.  On a silicone baking mat or parchment paper, make buns.  You can get perfect circles by slowly adding the mixture at the center of each bun.

7.  Bake for 15-25 mins based on your oven.  Let cool before you try to remove from baking tray.  You can lightly toast these for some extra crunch!

 

This recipe works GREAT as a hamburger bun substitute.
