Have you ever tried making eggloaf? It's a fantastic ultra low-carb breakfast option that can be served both with sweet and savory toppings!
I believe I first found this recipe on Instagram, and it was shared by Samantha of keto.sam.iam. In her original recipe you simply beat eggs, cream cheese and butter together and then bake until set. Genius!
I was wondering if I could make the eggloaf a little less dense and fluffier so I experimented with the technique. I decided to beat the egg whites separately with some cream of tartar or lemon juice (this helps stabilize them so they don't deflate). I then folder the beaten egg yolks with cream cheese and butter into the fluffy egg whites.
This created a lighter batter and the end result was a more airy. The bottom of the eggloaf may still end up a little more dense but overall it will be fluffier. Once baked and sliced, serve with a dusting of cinnamon and allulose syrup for a full breakfast meal.
If you prefer savory or you are following the carnivore approach, eat with some cream cheese, sliced cheese, ham and/or bacon on top. You could even make quick lunchbox sandwiches by using 2 slices of the eggloaf and add any filling.
