Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs (150g / 5.3 oz)
  • 3 generous tablespoons cream cheese (65-70g / 2.3-2.5 oz)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Separate the egg whites from yolks into two different bowls. Ensure the bowls are completely clean and dry for optimal egg white whipping.

Step 2: Make the Base Mixture

In the bowl with egg yolks, add 3 generous tablespoons of cream cheese. Whisk until the mixture becomes completely smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, approximately 1 minute 30 seconds. The whites should hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.

Step 4: Prepare Your Pan

Line a small bread pan with baking paper and lightly grease the bottom and sides with oil.

Step 5: Fold Together

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in two batches using a spatula. Use lifting motions from center outward to preserve the airy texture.

Step 6: Shape and Garnish

Pour half the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.

Step 7: Bake

Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 10 minutes until golden brown. For air fryer: 180°C (356°F) for 6-9 minutes, watching carefully.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Remove from oven. The bread will puff up then naturally deflate as it cools. Cut in half horizontally to create a sandwich roll.
