Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 patties Sausage patty
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese slice
- 2 teaspoons Butter
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Separate two of the eggs, placing the whites in a clean mixing bowl and the yolks in a small bowl. Set the yolks aside.
Step 3
Add the cream cheese to the egg yolks and mix well until smooth. Mix in the baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on high until stiff peaks form.
Step 5
Gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites, taking care not to deflate them.
Step 6
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming four equal rounds. These will be the cloud bread ‘buns’.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden and set. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Step 8
While the cloud bread is baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the sausage patties. Cook until well browned on both sides and completely cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 9
In the same skillet or a separate one, lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray. Crack the remaining two eggs into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are at your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for slightly runny yolks.
Step 10
To assemble, place one piece of cloud bread on a plate, top with a sausage patty, followed by a cooked egg, a slice of cheddar cheese, and cover with another cloud bread piece. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Low Carb Egg McMuffin!
