Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 large eggs (separated)
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 ounces low-fat cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ – ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prep your workspace by setting the oven to 300°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Crack 4 large eggs, carefully separating whites into one bowl and yolks into another.
- Add ½ teaspoon cream of tartar to egg whites and whip them until they form stiff, glossy peaks that stand up straight.
- Blend 2 ounces cream cheese, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning with egg yolks until the mixture becomes completely smooth.
- Delicately fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, maintaining as much air as possible to keep the mixture light.
- Using a spoon, drop 6 equal rounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, keeping them slightly separated.
- Slide the tray into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 25 minutes, watching for a gentle golden color across the cloud bread’s surface.
- Remove from oven and let the cloud bread rest on the tray for 5 minutes, which helps them firm up and develop a perfect texture.
Notes
- Check egg whites are at room temperature for better volume when beating.
- Use a clean, dry bowl and whisk for whipping egg whites to ensure they reach stiff peaks.
- Fold the yolk mixture into egg whites gently to maintain the cloud bread’s light, airy texture.
- For a low-carb version, skip the herbs and use these as a base for keto-friendly sandwiches or as a bread replacement.
