Ingredients
Cloud Bread Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a clean mixing bowl and the yolks in a separate bowl.
- Beat Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites along with the baking powder until stiff peaks form. This process usually takes 3-5 minutes and ensures the bread will be light and airy.
- Mix Yolks and Cream Cheese: In the bowl with yolks, add the softened cream cheese and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.
- Fold Whites into Yolks: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk and cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to incorporate the mixtures slowly to preserve the airiness of the egg whites.
- Spoon and Bake: Spoon the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming approximately 6 rounds. Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 25 minutes, or until golden and set.
Notes
- Best eaten fresh for optimum fluffiness; can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use as low-carb buns for sandwiches or enjoy as a light snack.
- Do not overmix the egg whites to maintain the bread’s airy texture.
- Allow bread to cool slightly before removing from baking sheet to prevent tearing.
