Cloud Bread Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 1 packet of Splenda (or use 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites into a standing mixer bowl, and transfer the yolks into a medium-sized bowl.
- Whip Egg Whites: Add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using the mixer on medium to high speed, beat them until stiff peaks form, which means the whites hold firm peaks when the beaters are lifted.
- Mix Yolks and Cream Cheese: To the bowl with egg yolks, add softened cream cheese and Splenda. Use a handheld mixer to beat the mixture until smooth and fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be careful to do this softly to maintain the fluffy structure of the egg whites.
- Form and Bake: Scoop batter by disks onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the breads are golden brown on top.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cloud breads to cool on the baking sheet before serving to let them set properly.
Notes
- Perfect for a low-carb sandwich option, cloud bread is an easy and quick recipe that requires only 4 ingredients.
- For sweetness, you can substitute Splenda with sugar or honey based on preference.
- Ensure to fold gently to keep the egg whites fluffy and maintain the light texture of the bread.
- Cloud bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
