Cloud Bread
Cloud bread is a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional bread, perfect for sandwiches or as a base for various toppings. It's light, fluffy, and easy to make with just a few ingredients.
Equipment
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 electric mixer or whisk
- 1 spatula
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- to taste herbs or seasonings Optional for flavoring
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
- Add the cream cheese and salt to the yolks and mix well until creamy and smooth.
- In the bowl with the egg whites, add the cream of tartar. Use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
- Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Using the spatula, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into 6 equal portions, shaping them into round bread-like shapes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cloud bread is lightly golden and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Enjoy your cloud bread as a delicious low-carb alternative!
Notes
Store any leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You can customize the flavor by adding garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite dried herbs to the yolk mixture.
