Ingredients
- Eggs (3 large, separated) – Creates the fluffy texture.
- Mascarpone Cheese (3 tbsp, softened) – Adds richness and creaminess.
- Baking Powder (¼ tsp) – Helps with structure and lift.
- Salt (a pinch) – Enhances the flavor.
- Honey (½ tsp, optional) – For a hint of sweetness.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Whites
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks (this is key to getting a fluffy texture).
Step 2: Mix the Yolks and Mascarpone
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, mascarpone cheese, baking powder, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Step 3: Fold Gently
- Gently fold the egg white mixture into the yolk mixture in small batches. Use a spatula and fold carefully to keep the air in the batter.
Step 4: Shape and Bake
- Spoon the batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheet in small, round mounds (like mini bread buns).
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and set.
- Let cool completely before serving (they will firm up as they cool).
Notes
- Use Room Temperature Eggs – They whip up better for fluffier bread.
- Don’t Overmix – Gently fold in the egg whites to keep the batter airy.
- Let Them Cool Completely – This helps them firm up.
- Store Properly – Keep in an airtight container to maintain texture.
