Step 1: Preheat & Prep

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Whip Egg Whites

• Separate egg whites from yolks (ensure no yolk mixes in).
• In a clean bowl, beat whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 mins).

Step 3: Blend Yolk Mixture

Step 4: Fold Together Gently

• Slowly fold egg whites into yolk mixture (don’t overmix keep it fluffy!).

Cooking Notes

• Room temp eggs whip better! Cold eggs take longer to reach stiff peaks.
• No overmixing! Fold gently to keep the bread airy.
• Crispier edges? Bake 5 mins longer for a toast-like texture.
• Storage: Keep in an airtight container for 3 days or freeze for 1 month.

Serving Suggestions

• Sandwich-style – Use as burger buns or deli sandwich wraps.
• Sweet option – Top with whipped cream & berries.
• Savory pairing – Serve with soup, avocado, or smoked salmon.
• Pizza base – Add toppings & broil for 2 mins.

Helpful Tips

• Stiff peaks are key – If whites won’t stiffen, ensure no yolk or grease in the bowl.
• Flat bread? Likely overmixed or under-whipped egg whites.
• Moisture control – If using Greek yogurt, drain excess liquid first.
• Thicker bread? Make fewer, larger mounds.
