Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3 ounces (85 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (helps stabilize the egg whites)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional, adds a touch of lift)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sweetener of choice (optional, balances flavor; erythritol or allulose work well)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder (optional, for savory depth)
  • Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  • Separate the eggs. Place the whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl and the yolks in a separate bowl.
  • Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high until stiff peaks form. The whites should stand tall and glossy.
  • In the yolk bowl, add the softened cream cheese, salt, baking powder (if using), and sweetener. Mix until smooth and lump-free. Stir in garlic or onion powder if you want a savory flavor.
  • Gently fold one-third of the whipped whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining whites, preserving as much air as possible. Don’t overmix—streaks are okay.
  • Scoop the batter onto the lined baking sheet in 6–8 mounds, leaving space between each. Smooth the tops lightly with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with seeds or seasoning if you like.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tops are golden and the centers feel set. Avoid opening the oven too early—this can cause collapse.
  • Let the oopsie breads cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling. They will firm up as they cool.
