Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Make This with Egg Substitutes?

This recipe relies on egg whites for structure, so it doesn't work well with most substitutes. For a plant-based version, consider recipes specifically designed for aquafaba.

What’s the Texture Like?

Think of it as somewhere between a soufflé and a cloud—airy, soft, and slightly crisp on the outside.

Is This Good for a Keto Diet?

Yes! With zero carbs and high protein, it's 100% keto-friendly.

Can I Add Cheese or Herbs?

Absolutely. Finely grated Parmesan, cheddar, chives, or parsley make great additions—just gently fold them into the whipped whites.

What Can I Serve This With?

You can serve it as-is, cut it in half and fill it like a sandwich, or enjoy it with sliced avocado, tomato, or turkey bacon.

How to Store

Store leftover protein bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 3–5 minutes or use a toaster oven to regain some crispness.

How to Freeze

Protein bread is best fresh, but you can freeze it. Allow to cool completely, then place slices between parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or toaster.

How to Make Fluffy Protein Bread

Place egg whites in one bowl and yolks in another.

Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Beat the yolks separately until smooth.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Use a brush or spoon to shape the yolks on the parchment into circles or ovals.

Scoop the whipped whites over the yolk shapes, building them up high.

Brush the tops with remaining yolk for color.

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes or until puffed and slightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve as-is, or slice in half and fill with your favorite ingredients.
