Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Dairy
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
Sweetener and Leavening
- 1 packet Splenda (or 1 tablespoon sugar or honey)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking during baking.
- Separate the Eggs. Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites into a standing mixer bowl and the yolks into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Whip the Egg Whites. Add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using your standing mixer, whip them on medium to high speed until stiff peaks form, which will give the cloud bread its airy texture.
- Mix the Yolks and Cream Cheese. In the bowl with the egg yolks, combine the softened cream cheese and Splenda (or your choice of sweetener). Use a handheld mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fold Mixtures Together. Gently fold the yolk and cream cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites. Take care to fold gently to maintain the fluffy airiness of the egg whites.
- Scoop onto Baking Sheet. Using a spoon or scoop, place dollops of the batter onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet, shaping each into a round disk.
- Bake the Cloud Bread. Place the cookie sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cloud bread turns a light golden brown.
- Cool Before Serving. Remove the bread from the oven and set aside to cool completely before serving to allow the texture to set.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 12 cloud bread rounds, suitable for sandwiches or as a light snack.
- For a lower sugar option, use Splenda or omit sweetener altogether if preferred.
- The cream of tartar helps stabilize the egg whites for a better rise and fluffiness.
- Be gentle when folding the mixtures to maintain the airy consistency.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them soft.
