Description

This Best Cloud Bread Recipe offers a light, fluffy, and low-carb alternative to traditional bread. Made primarily from whipped egg whites and cream cheese, it’s seasoned with Italian herbs, salt, and garlic powder for a flavorful twist. Perfect for those looking for gluten-free or low-carb options, this cloud bread is ideal for sandwiches, snacks, or as a bread substitute.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 2 ounces low-fat cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. If you have a convection oven, set it to convect mode. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Beat Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites and yolks. Place the egg whites in a stand mixer with the whip attachment, add the cream of tartar, and beat on high speed until firm meringue peaks form. Once whipped, transfer the meringue to a separate bowl.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: Place the cream cheese in the now empty mixing bowl and beat on high to soften. Add the egg yolks one at a time, blending thoroughly. Scrape down the bowl and continue to beat until the mixture is completely smooth. Then blend in the Italian seasoning, sea salt, and garlic powder evenly.
  4. Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the firm meringue into the egg yolk and cream cheese mixture. Be careful to fold lightly to avoid deflating the meringue; maintain a firm and airy foam consistency.
  5. Shape and Bake: Spoon 1/4 cup portions of the foam onto the prepared baking sheets. Spread each portion into an even 4-inch diameter circle about 3/4 inch high, leaving space between each. Bake for 15-18 minutes in a convection oven or up to 30 minutes in a conventional oven, until the outside is golden and firm and the centers do not jiggle.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cloud breads to cool on the baking sheets for several minutes before transferring and serving. They can be used immediately as a bread substitute or snack.

Notes

  • The Best Cloud Bread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days, but the texture is best enjoyed within 12 hours of baking.
  • Start with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder if sensitive to garlic flavor, and adjust up to 1/2 teaspoon according to personal taste.
