STEP BY STEP
Let’s make it.
- Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two trays. Put the separately weighed egg whites in a clean, grease-free mixing bowl.
- Whisk the beaten whole egg with the softened cream cheese and salt until smooth. In the other bowl, beat the egg whites with the vinegar until they hold firm, glossy peaks.
- Fold one-third of the whites into the cheese mixture to loosen it. Gently fold in the remaining whites in two additions, keeping as much air as possible.
- Spoon 12 rounds onto the trays, about 8 cm across. Bake for 25–30 minutes, rotating trays once, until golden, set and at least 160°F (71°C) in the center.
- Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar for 5 minutes, then cool the rounds on a rack. Divide into 6 servings; the original portion is two rounds.
Kitchen notes
- Weigh the whole beaten egg and the separate egg whites independently. The rounds soften after cooling and have an egg-based texture.
