Let's get cooking!
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs, separated (we're using the whites to create fluffy egg rounds!)
- 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1/2 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crispy (because, well, bacon!)
Directions:
- Get your oven ready: Preheat to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk those whites: In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside – we need those to stay light and airy.
- Creamy egg magic: In another bowl, whisk the cream cheese, egg yolks (save the rest for another dish!), and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Then, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Don't overmix!
- Form the egg rounds: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the baking sheets, forming 8 circles. These will spread a bit during baking, so leave some space between each.
- Bake 'em: Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the egg rounds are golden and fully set in the center.
- Cheese time!: Remove from the oven, place a cheddar slice on four of the egg rounds, and put them back in for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Assemble the masterpiece: Top the cheesy rounds with 2-3 avocado slices, a slice of tomato, and one strip of bacon broken in half. Place the remaining egg rounds on top, creating a sandwich. Serve immediately with two extra strips of bacon on the side. Who can say no to that?
