Ingredients
Scale
Basic Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat recommended)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Add-Ins
- Herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
- Garlic powder
- Shredded cheese
- Sweetener (for a sweeter variation)
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Beat the eggs: Crack the 6 large eggs into a large bowl. Whisk them vigorously by hand or use an electric mixer until the eggs become frothy, incorporating air for better texture.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the beaten eggs. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until the mixture is smooth and evenly mixed, avoiding lumps.
- Pour batter into pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap the pan on the counter lightly to remove any trapped air bubbles to ensure even baking.
- Bake the bread: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The bread is ready when the crust turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the bread: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Afterwards, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to maintain structure and prevent crumbling.
Notes
- For added flavor, incorporate herbs, garlic powder, or shredded cheese into the batter before baking.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best texture and moisture content.
- Make sure the bread is completely cooled before slicing to avoid it falling apart.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- This bread is naturally gluten-free and contains almost zero carbohydrates, fitting perfectly into low-carb or ketogenic diets.
