Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese or mascarpone room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons butter or ghee melted and cooled slightly
  • ½ cup whole psyllium husk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar apple cider vinegar works too

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Separate the eggs, placing the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
  • Using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese, melted butter, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Let the mixture rest for a couple of minutes so the psyllium can thicken.
  • Add one-third of the whipped egg whites to the yolk mixture and fold to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining whites until the batter is combined without overmixing.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing. The texture improves and sets as it cools.
