Description
This recipe makes simple, quick cloud bread suitable for a ketogenic and low-carb diet. It requires minimal ingredients and steps.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, helps stabilize egg whites)
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, softened cream cheese, and sweetener (if using) until smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the stiff egg whites, being careful not to deflate the whites. The mixture should be light and airy.
- Spoon the cloud bread batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 round “patties.”
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- The cream of tartar helps stabilize the egg whites, making them fluffier.
- Erythritol or other keto-friendly sweeteners are optional; adjust to your taste.
- Store leftover cloud bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
