Cloud Bread Ingredients
- 3 extra large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (or Greek yogurt)
Instructions
- Prepare bowls: Use two medium-size glass mixing bowls that are completely clean and free of any soap or residue to ensure stiff peaks formation.
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking.
- Line baking sheet: Place parchment paper on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Separate eggs: Carefully separate egg whites and yolks into the two bowls, making sure no yolk contaminates the whites.
- Add cream of tartar: Sprinkle cream of tartar into the egg whites to stabilize them.
- Whip egg whites: With an electric handheld mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, around 3 minutes.
- Mix yolks and cream cheese: Whisk the egg yolks, kosher salt, and softened cream cheese together until smooth and lump-free.
- Fold egg whites into yolks: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in batches using a silicone spatula until well combined without deflating the whites.
- Form mounds: Spoon the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet into 6 mounds, spaced 3 to 4 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake the mounds at 300°F for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and set.
- Cool: Let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure bowls and utensils are completely clean and free of grease for optimal egg whites whipping.
- Room temperature eggs whip better and create more volume.
- Use cream cheese softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the yolk mixture.
- Be gentle when folding to maintain the airiness of the egg whites for a fluffy texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Can be warmed briefly before serving to restore softness.
