步驟

1. Preheat your air fryer to 300°F.

2. Whip the egg whites. • Place the egg whites (and cream of tartar, if using) in a clean bowl. • Beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. The whites should stand up firmly when you lift the beaters.

3. Mix the yolks. • In another bowl, whisk together: • Egg yolks • Mozzarella • Parmesan • Garlic powder • Onion powder • Italian seasoning • Salt • Pepper

5. Shape. • Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper made for air fryers or a silicone liner. • Scoop the mixture into 6-8 mounds or shape it into a flat oval about ½-¾ inch thick.

6. Air fry. • Cook at 300°F for 10-12 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

7. Add garlic butter (optional but highly recommended). • Brush with the melted garlic butter. • Sprinkle with additional Parmesan and parsley. • Air fry another 1-2 minutes.

Tips

• Use low-moisture shredded mozzarella (the kind sold in bags or freshly shredded from a block) for the best texture. • Don't overmix after folding in the egg whites-the air is what makes the "bread" fluffy. • Eat it while warm. It has the best texture fresh from the air fryer.
