Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate 4 large eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another large bowl.
- Step 2: In the bowl with yolks, add 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh spinach, 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Step 3: In the other bowl, add 1/4 tsp cream of tartar to egg whites and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 4: Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, carefully preserving the airiness.
- Step 5: Spoon six even rounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and brush each gently with 1 tbsp melted butter.
- Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and set. Cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving as a keto-friendly bread alternative.
