Cloud Bread Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 1 packet of Splenda (or 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 promote even baking.
- Separate Eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the egg whites into a standing mixer bowl and the yolks into a medium mixing bowl.
- Beat Egg Whites: Add 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using a mixer, beat on medium and then high speed until stiff peaks form—this will give the bread its signature fluffiness.
- Mix Yolks: In the bowl with the egg yolks, combine the softened cream cheese and Splenda. Use a handheld mixer to mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites. Take care to fold carefully to maintain the lightness and volume of the egg whites.
- Scoop and Shape: Scoop spoonfuls of the batter onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet, shaping them into round disks.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the cloud breads turn a golden brown color on top.
- Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cloud breads to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
