Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
- 0 Optional: grated cheese or herbs for topping
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two large mixing bowls.
Step 3
In the bowl with the yolks, add cream cheese, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and well-combined.
Step 4
Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites in their separate bowl until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on high speed.
Step 5
Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites in small batches. Use a spatula and a light hand to maintain the airy texture.
Step 6
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds about 3 inches in diameter. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle grated cheese or herbs over the top of each puff for added flavor.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and set.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy on their own or topped with your favorite low-carb spreads, such as cream cheese, avocado, or nut butter.
