Cloud Bread Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons whole milk cottage cheese or cream cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl and add the cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat the whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, which ensures the bread’s fluffy texture.
- Mix the yolks and cheese: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks with the whole milk cottage cheese or cream cheese, and the artificial sweetener if using. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold yolk mixture into whites: Gently fold the yolk and cheese mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula with careful, slow folding motions to preserve the airiness of the whites and avoid deflating the mixture.
- Shape and bake the bread: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the batter into 6 equal rounds or dollops on the baking sheet, shaping them gently with the back of a spoon.
- Bake until golden and set: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cloud breads are golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Allow them to cool completely before serving to maintain their texture.
Notes
- This bread is best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Use fresh eggs at room temperature for best volume when whipping the whites.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese with a non-dairy cream cheese alternative.
- The artificial sweetener is optional and can be omitted or adjusted based on your sweetness preference.
- Allow breads to cool thoroughly before slicing to avoid crumbling.
