Ingredients
Basic Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tbsp cream cheese (or Greek yogurt)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Optional Ingredients
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- Sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Separate the eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another to prepare for whipping and mixing.
- Whip the egg whites: Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, which will help create the light, airy texture characteristic of cloud bread.
- Mix yolks with cream cheese and seasonings: In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the cream cheese (or Greek yogurt), baking powder, salt, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or parmesan. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Fold whites into yolk mixture: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites to retain the bread’s fluffy structure.
- Prepare baking surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Scoop and shape the batter: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into rounds or one large loaf depending on your preference.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown and set.
- Cool and serve: Let the bread cool slightly before removing from the baking sheet. Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning on top if desired, then enjoy as a low-carb sandwich base or snack.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better volume when whipping egg whites.
- If substituting Greek yogurt for cream cheese, expect a slightly tangier flavor and softer texture.
- For best results, do not overmix when folding egg whites to maintain fluffiness.
- Cloud bread is best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- You can reheat cloud bread in a toaster or oven for a minute to revive softness before serving.
