Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs separated
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt

Optional Flavor Additions

  • 1 tbsp sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • rosemary
  • Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Separate the eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks, making sure no yolk gets into the whites.
    Ingredients for homemade cloud bread on a marble counter including whipped egg whites in a glass bowl, three egg yolks in a small dish, cream cheese, cream of tartar, and honey.
  • Mix the yolks: In one bowl, mix egg yolks with softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Beat the egg whites: In a separate bowl, add baking powder to the egg whites and beat until thick, glossy stiff peaks form. This may take about 5–6 minutes with an electric mixer.

  • Fold gently: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites. Do not stir aggressively — you want to keep as much air in the batter as possible.

  • Scoop the batter: Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into 8–10 even rounds. Leave space between each one.

  • Bake: Bake for 17–20 minutes, or until the cloud bread is lightly golden and set.
  • Cool before serving: Let the cloud bread cool on a rack for at least 10-15minutes before serving. The texture gets better as it cools.

Notes

  • The egg whites must be beaten to stiff peaks for the cloud bread to hold its shape properly.
  • Fold the batter gently so you don’t deflate the air whipped into the egg whites.
  • Let the cloud bread cool for at least 15–20 minutes before serving — the texture improves as it cools.
  • Cloud bread is naturally soft and airy, not chewy like regular bread.
  • For savory cloud bread, try adding garlic powder, rosemary, parmesan, or everything bagel seasoning.
  • For a sweeter version, add a little sweetener and vanilla extract.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
  • Cloud bread can also be made in the air fryer using the bake setting at a lower temperature.
