Cloud Bread
Cloud Bread is a light, airy bread alternative made from whipped egg whites and a creamy base of egg yolks combined with cream cheese or Greek yogurt. The result is a soft, fluffy bread with a delicate texture. The preparation involves whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks, folding in the creamy yolk mixture, then baking until lightly browned and set. This recipe yields tender, low-carb bread rounds that can be stored refrigerated for convenience.
Ingredients
- 3 large egg divided
- ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese or ⅓ cup fat free cream cheese, or light Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a pan with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- Mix egg whites & cream of tartar on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- In a large bowl mix egg yolks & greek yogurt (or cream cheese) until well combined and smooth. Gently fold in about 1 cup of the egg white mixture until well combined. Add remaining egg whites and fold just until mixed.
- Divide egg mixture into 6 equal portions on prepared pan. Spread until about ½″ thick.
- Bake 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately move to a wire rack and cool completely (at least 60 minutes).
- Refrigerate in a sealed container to store.
