Ingredients

6 large eggs, separated
6 tbsp full-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
2 tsp erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease.
2

Separate 6 separated large eggs carefully, placing whites in a large clean bowl and yolks in a medium bowl.
3

Add 1/2 tsp cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4

In the yolk bowl, mix together 6 tbsp softened full-fat cream cheese, 2 tsp erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional) if using, until very smooth.
5

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining whites in two additions, keeping as much volume as possible.
6

Spoon the batter into 12 rounds on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least an inch apart. Smooth the tops gently.
7

Bake for 22 to 26 minutes until golden on top and firm to the touch. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes - they will deflate slightly as they cool.
8

Serve immediately or store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Questions

Can I make Cloud Bread dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 6 tbsp full-fat cream cheese, softened. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Cloud Bread keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat covered in a 300 F oven until warmed through.

Can I halve or double Cloud Bread?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
