# What You Need:

→ Egg Mixture

01 - 3 large eggs, separated
02 - 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

→ Cheese & Flavorings

03 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

08 - 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# How to Cook:

01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
03 - In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, herbs, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.
04 - Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, taking care not to deflate the batter.
05 - Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming six even rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
06 - Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
07 - Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for best texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely gluten-free without tasting like cardboard, which feels like a small miracle.
  • The whole thing takes forty minutes from craving to crispy golden edges, perfect for when you need instant gratification.
  • One batch disappears faster than you'd expect, whether you're dipping them in soup or eating them straight from the cooling rack.
02 -
  • Don't rush the folding process or over-mix; deflating those egg whites is the most common reason these turn out dense instead of cloud-like and magical.
  • The oven temperature really does need to stay at 300°F because a hotter oven will brown the outside before the inside sets, leaving you with a crispy shell and a gooey center that doesn't work in the best way.
03 -
  • If your cream cheese isn't soft, microwave it for ten to fifteen seconds before using it, because cold cream cheese won't fold smoothly and can create lumps in your batter.
  • Adding a tiny pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes before baking elevates the flavor without changing the texture, and it's my favorite last-minute flavor hack.
