Ingredients
  

  • 3 large pasteurized eggs, room temperature, separated
  • ¼ cup (60 g / 2.12 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ½ tsp ranch seasoning powder
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • 6 tbsp (90 ml) shredded parmesan cheese
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • for Perfect Cloud Bread
  • Ensure your mixing bowl for the egg whites is completely clean and free of any fat or grease, as this can prevent them from whipping up properly.
  • Room temperature eggs and cream cheese are non-negotiable! They combine much more smoothly and help create a lighter, more voluminous batter.
  • Resist the urge to open the oven door while baking. The sudden change in temperature can cause your delicate cloud bread to deflate.
  • For extra flavor, feel free to mix in other dried herbs like chives or dill along with the ranch seasoning.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They may soften slightly but are still delicious.

Method
 

  1. Directions1.
  2. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 300°F / 150°C.
  3. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Whip the Egg Whites: In a large, clean mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt.
  4. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This is the key to their fluffy texture! 3.
  5. Mix the Yolks: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, softened cream cheese, and ranch seasoning powder until smooth and fully combined. 4. Gently Fold: Carefully add the yolk mixture to the whipped egg whites.
  6. Using a spatula, gently fold the two mixtures together until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the egg whites. 5.
  7. Form & Bake: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, creating eight 4-inch / 10 cm mounds, spaced well apart.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. 6.
  9. Add Cheese & Finish: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of parmesan cheese over each cloud bread. Return to the oven and bake for another 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. 7.
  10. Cool & Serve: Let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve immediately or store for later.
