Egg Bread

2021-07-28 10:18

Also sometimes called Oopsie bread, or cloud bread, this is a grainless bread substitute

It doesn't rise much, but works well as a replacement for things you'd normally use bread rolls for, particularly as buns around a grilled chicken breast, just make sure the filling sits well with a slight egg flavour

This recipe grinds black pepper over the top, but you can sprinkle seeds instead if preferred

10 mins 25 mins 35 mins

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 110g low fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (optional)
  • Pinch salt
  • ground black pepper

Method

  1. Cover a large baking tray in greaseproof paper
  2. Set the oven preheating to 150c
  3. Seperate the eggs, put the yolks in a small bowl and set to one side for use later
  4. Put the whites into a clean bowl and add the salt
  5. Whisk the whites until very stiff (you should be able to upturn the bowl without any movement)
  6. Take the bowl of egg yolks and add the cream cheese to it
  7. Add the baking powder
  8. Mix well with a fork, the cheese will start to break down and mix into the yolk
  9. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whites - try and avoid pushing air out of the whites
  10. Make 4-6 dollops on the baking tray
  11. Grind black pepper over the top
