Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated

  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (1.25ml)

  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened (85g)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

  • Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

  • In another bowl, mix egg yolks and cream cheese until smooth.

  • Gently fold yolk mixture into egg whites.

  • Spoon onto a baking sheet in rounds.

  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

Notes

  • Consistency is Key: Ensure your egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks. This gives the cloud bread its signature lightness. If your peaks are droopy, the bread will be too!

  • Freshness Matters: Use fresh eggs for the fluffiest result. Older eggs can result in a flatter bread.

  • Avoid Yolk Contamination: When separating your eggs, ensure no yolk gets into the whites. Even a tiny bit can prevent the whites from reaching stiff peaks.

  • Flavor Variations: While the basic cloud bread is neutral in flavor, feel free to add herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even some grated cheese for a savory twist.

  • Dairy-Free Version: If you're catering to a dairy-free diet, replace cream cheese with a dairy-free cream cheese alternative available in most health food stores.

  • Vegan Adaptation: For a vegan version, use aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) in place of egg whites. It whips up similarly to egg whites. Replace cream cheese with a vegan alternative.

  • Storage: Cloud bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For a crispier texture, toast it lightly before serving.

  • Cooling is Crucial: Let the cloud bread cool completely on a wire rack before storing. This prevents it from becoming soggy.

  • Perfect for Sandwiches: Due to its soft texture, cloud bread is best used for open-faced sandwiches. If you're craving a traditional sandwich, simply toast the bread first to give it a firmer texture.

  • Gluten-Free Delight: Cloud bread is naturally gluten-free, making it a great choice for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

    Whether you're on a keto journey or exploring gluten-free or dairy-free diets, cloud bread offers a versatile, light, and fluffy alternative to traditional bread. Its simple ingredients and easy adaptability make it a favorite for various dietary needs. Dive into the world of cloud bread and let your culinary creativity soar!
