Cloud Bread Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 1 packet Splenda (or 1 tablespoon sugar or honey)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a cookie sheet with a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cloud bread.
- Separate Eggs: Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites into a stand mixer bowl and the yolks into a medium mixing bowl.
- Whip Egg Whites: Add 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using a stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This provides the light, airy texture essential to cloud bread.
- Mix Yolks and Cream Cheese: In the medium bowl with the yolks, add softened cream cheese and Splenda. Use a handheld mixer to blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the fluffy egg whites. Folding preserves the airiness needed for the bread’s texture.
- Scoop and Bake: Spoon the batter into rounds onto the parchment paper, forming disk shapes. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Cool: Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely before using. This helps the bread to firm up for easier handling.
Notes
- This cloud bread is a fantastic low-carb alternative to traditional bread, perfect for sandwiches or as a snack.
- Ensure egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for best results in achieving the fluffy texture.
- You can substitute Splenda with sugar or honey if you prefer, but this will add carbs.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Store leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
