Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/4 tsp cream of tartar using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, blend 4 egg yolks with 2 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in 3 additions, carefully mixing to maintain the airy texture.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the batter into 6 evenly sized mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the top of each with crumbled bacon from 4 cooked strips.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed. Remove and let cool slightly before serving warm.
