Ingredients
-
For the Cloud Bread:
- Eggs: 3 extra-large, room temperature
- Cream of Tartar: 1/4 teaspoon
- Cream Cheese: 3 tablespoons (1.5 oz), softened (or substitute with Greek yogurt)
- Kosher Salt: 1/8 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Bowls:
- Use two medium-sized glass mixing bowls, ensuring they are completely clean and free of residue to help the egg whites whip properly.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the Eggs:
- Separate the yolks and whites into the two bowls. Be cautious to ensure no yolk gets into the whites.
- Whip the Egg Whites:
- Add cream of tartar to the whites and use an electric mixer to whip on high until stiff peaks form (about 3 minutes). Set aside.
- Prepare the Yolk Mixture:
- In the other bowl, whisk together egg yolks, softened cream cheese (or Greek yogurt), and salt until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture one cup at a time using a silicone spatula. Continue folding until fully incorporated without deflating the mixture.
- Shape the Bread:
- Divide the batter into six even mounds on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 3-4 inches apart.
- Bake the Bread:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the bread cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure all utensils and bowls are residue-free for the best results.
- For variations, add herbs, garlic powder, or cheese to the yolk mixture before folding.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
