Equipment
- oven
- 2 baking sheet large
- 2 mixing bowls
- 1 mixer
- 1 spatula
- 1 mesuring spoon for garlic powder
- 1 cookie cutter optional, for trimming egg rounds
- knife for slicing avocado and tomato
- cutting board
Ingredients
- 6 eggs large, separeted
- 115 g cream cheese room temperature
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large avocado
- ½ medium tomato
- 12 slices bacon thick-cut sliced, cooked crispy
- salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ºF (160ºC) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat™ baking mats. Set aside.
- Whip egg whites: Add the 6 egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer. Mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Cream mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the cream cheese with 4 egg yolks and the garlic powder. (Reserve the remaining egg yolks for another use.) Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Combine: Working in batches, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Do not overwork.
- Form egg rounds: Spoon approximately ¼ cup (60 ml) of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets to create 8 circles. Gently spread the mixture into 1.3 cm (½ inch) high rounds, leaving space between each circle.
- Bake: Bake until the egg rounds are golden and set in the center, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
- Trim and melt cheese: Remove from the oven and trim each egg round with the cookie cutter, if desired.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese on four of the circles and return to the oven just until the cheese is melted, approximately 2 minutes.
- Cook the bacon until crispy and set aside.
- Assemble: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top each cheese-covered round with 2 to 3 avocado slices, a thin tomato slice, and one strip of bacon (broken in half).
- Slice the avocado.
- Slice the tomato thinly.
- Top with the remaining egg rounds. Serve immediately with 2 additional strips of crispy bacon on the side.
