Ingredients
- 5 eggs, separated
- 3 Tbsp. unflavored Whey Protein Powder
- 2 oz. frozen cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Using a stand mixer, whip the egg whites for about 3 minutes. You want to see stiff peaks.
- While the whites are mixing, use a hand mixer to beat the yolks in a large glass measuring cup. Beat until mixed, approximately 1 minute.
- Add the baking powder and the Whey Protein Powder to your yolks and mix until well incorporated.
- Once the whites are stiff, remove about 1 cup and add it to the yolk mixture to introduce them. Blend about 30 seconds or so, just to give it a good mix.
- With your standing mixer set to low, add your yolk mixture a little at a time to gently blend. Scrape the sides and mix a few seconds more.
- Add your frozen grated cheese while the mixer is running on low still. You just want to blend is evenly with the mixture.
- Once it's all done, give it a little mix with your spatula, being sure to scrape the sides.
- I am using a silicone muffin top pan on a baking sheet. You don't need to use a pan, you could simply place on parchment paper in your pan as well. You just want to be try to divide your mixture into 6 portions as equally as possible.
- Smooth over your buns and sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning and parmesan. (optional)
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Let them cook and then gently remove from your pan. Enjoy!
