Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 100g / 3.5 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother, more uniform batter.
  • For the fluffiest results, make sure the bowl and beaters used for the egg whites are completely clean and free of any grease or fat.
  • Customize your cloud bread by folding in dried herbs, garlic powder, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese into the yolk mixture for a savory twist.
  • Store cooled cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They may become slightly tacky, but their structure will hold.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F / 150°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two separate bowls. To the egg whites, add the cream of tartar and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. In the second bowl, combine the egg yolks, softened cream cheese, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Beat with the mixer until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture in thirds. Be careful not to overmix or stir, as this will deflate the batter. The goal is to keep it light and airy.
  6. Spoon six even mounds of the batter onto your prepared baking sheet, shaping them into bun-like circles about 4 inches in diameter.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  8. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
