Cloud Bread is a light, airy, and gluten-free bread alternative made with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for those looking for a low-carb or keto-friendly option!
Prepare the Bowls: You will need 2 medium-sized glass mixing bowls. Ensure they are completely clean (no soap residue), as even a tiny bit of residue can prevent the egg whites from forming stiff peaks.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the Eggs: Separate the egg whites and egg yolks into the 2 bowls, ensuring no egg yolk gets into the egg whites.
Whip the Egg Whites: Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using an electric handheld mixer, whip the egg whites on high for about 3 minutes until they form stiff peaks. Set the bowl aside.
Prepare the Egg Yolk Mixture: In the other bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, kosher salt, and softened cream cheese until completely smooth and no cream cheese chunks are visible.
Combine the Mixtures: Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, one cup at a time, until fully combined.
Shape the Cloud Bread: Carefully divide the mixture into 6 mounds on the parchment paper, spacing them 3-4 inches apart.
Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool the Bread: Let the cloud bread rest and cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes.
Notes
Make sure the egg whites are free from any yolk; this is crucial for them to whip properly into stiff peaks.
Cloud bread is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
For a variation, you can substitute the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
