Ingredients
Cloud Bread Ingredients
- 3 eggs, separated
- 3 tbsp cream cheese
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300 °F (150 °C) to prepare for gentle baking, which helps the cloud bread maintain its airy texture.
- Beat Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites together with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for achieving the bread’s characteristic light and fluffy texture.
- Prepare Egg Yolk Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the egg yolks with the cream cheese until fully combined and smooth, creating a creamy base to fold into the whites.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the yolk and cream cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites, taking care not to deflate the whites. This delicate folding preserves the airiness of the batter.
- Scoop and Bake: Spoon the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into six evenly sized rounds. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the breads are lightly golden and set.
Notes
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Can be used as a low-carb sandwich substitute or as a base for sweet or savory toppings.
- Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for best results in texture.
