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.
