Ingredients
-
3 large eggs, separated
-
3 tbsp cream cheese (softened)
-
¼ tsp cream of tartar (or ½ tsp lemon juice)
-
Pinch of salt
-
Optional: garlic powder or seasoning of choice
Suggested Fillings:
-
Scrambled or fried eggs
-
Crispy bacon or sausage patties

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
Set to 300°F (150°C). Line and lightly grease a baking sheet. -
Beat Egg Whites:
In a clean bowl, whip whites, cream of tartar, and salt until stiff peaks form (3–5 min with mixer). -
Mix Yolks & Cheese:
In a separate bowl, whisk yolks and cream cheese until smooth. Add seasoning if desired. -
Fold with Care:
Gently fold yolk mix into whites using a spatula. Do not overmix! -
Shape & Bake:
Scoop into 6 mounds (½ cup each) on baking sheet. Bake 25–30 minutes until golden and puffed. -
Cool & Build:
Let cool slightly—they’ll flatten a bit. Assemble with warm fillings so the cheese melts right in.
Notes

Whip Whites in a Metal Bowl: Grease-free for better peaks.
