Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 3 large eggs (separated)
Dairy
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
Sweetener and Stabilizer
- 1 packet of Splenda (or use 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Separate Eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully, placing the whites into a standing mixer bowl and the yolks into a medium mixing bowl.
- Beat Egg Whites: Add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using the mixer on medium to high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form to incorporate air and provide structure to the bread.
- Mix Yolks and Cream Cheese: To the egg yolks in the medium bowl, add softened cream cheese and Splenda. Use a handheld mixer to combine these ingredients thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the yolk and cream cheese mixture into the beaten egg whites. Carefully incorporate them without deflating the egg whites to maintain the fluffy texture.
- Form and Bake: Scoop the batter onto the prepared parchment paper in disk shapes, spacing them apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the cloud breads turn golden brown and set.
- Cool: Remove the baked cloud breads from the oven and set aside to cool before serving or storing.
Notes
- This recipe is ideal for those seeking low-carb or low-sugar bread alternatives.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- If you prefer sweeter bread, replace Splenda with sugar or honey as indicated.
- Be careful while folding to keep the egg whites fluffy for the best texture.
- Cloud bread is best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
