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