Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
• 1 sheet parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Separate the egg whites and egg yolks into two separate bowls.

Step 3

In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the cream cheese, baking powder, and salt. Whisk or mix with a hand mixer until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Using a clean hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula and fold slowly to preserve the airy texture. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into 6 even-sized mounds (about 3 inches wide each). Spread the tops slightly to form a bun shape.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each mound for garnish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the buns to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Use the buns immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
