Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Oven
Preheat oven to:
350°F (175°C)
Line a loaf pan or baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: Separate Eggs
Separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls.
Be careful not to get any yolk into the whites because this affects whipping.

In a bowl combine:
- Egg yolks
- Cream cheese
- Mozzarella
- Parmesan
- Salt
- Baking powder
Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Whip Egg Whites
Using a mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
This step creates the fluffy texture.
Step 5: Combine Mixtures
Slowly fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture.
Do not overmix.
Keep the air from the whipped whites to maintain the light texture.
Step 6: Bake The Bread
Pour mixture into the prepared pan.
Add optional toppings.
Bake for:
25–30 minutes
until:
- Golden on top
- Firm in the center
- Slightly springy
Step 7: Cool Before Slicing
Allow bread to cool completely before cutting.
This helps it set and prevents it from becoming too soft.
