Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour (optional, for added texture)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks into two clean bowls.
  3. Beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, softened cream cheese, almond flour (if using), garlic powder (if using), and salt until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in three parts, maintaining the airiness of the batter.
  6. Fold in fresh herbs if using.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 4-6 mounds about 1/2 inch thick and spaced apart.
  9. Shape the mounds into rounds or ovals, smoothing the tops.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.
  11. Let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Use as a low-carb sandwich alternative, mini pizza base, or snack.
  13. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze with parchment paper between pieces.
  14. Reheat in a toaster, microwave, or oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
  15. Feel free to add different spices, cheese, or sweeteners as desired.

Notes

  • Ensure egg whites are in a clean, dry bowl for optimal whipping.
  • Adjust seasonings and herbs based on personal preference.
  • For a sweet version, consider adding a touch of sweetener and vanilla extract.
