Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with ½ tbsp butter.
In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, whisk the whole egg and cream cheese together until smooth.
Gently fold the egg‑cream cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate.
Spoon half of the batter onto the skillet, spreading into a 4‑inch circle; cook 2‑3 minutes until the underside is set and lightly golden.
Flip, add a layer of shredded cheddar and a sprinkle of chives, then top with the remaining batter, forming a sandwich.
Cook another 2‑3 minutes, then flip once more and press gently; cook until both sides are golden and cheese is melted.
Transfer to a plate, slice in half, and finish with the remaining ½ tbsp butter for extra crispness if desired.
