Cloud Bread Recipe (Gluten-Free)
This quick and easy cloud bread recipe is a fluffy, gluten-free delight that feels like a treat but fits perfectly into your low-carb or keto lifestyle.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs separated
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened (or Greek yogurt as a substitute)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener optional, for a slightly sweet version
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Separate the eggs
- Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
Whip the egg whites
- Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat them with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This step is key for creating that fluffy texture.
Mix the yolks and cream cheese
- In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth. If you’re using a sweetener, this is the time to add it.
Combine the mixtures
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula and a light hand to avoid deflating the egg whites.
Shape and bake
- Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6 even rounds. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the bread feels firm to the touch.
Cool and enjoy
- Let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Enjoy it warm or store it for later use.
Notes
Simply Nourished Life’s Cooking Tips
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs to the egg yolk mixture.
- Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Be gentle when folding the mixtures together—this ensures your bread stays light and airy.
- Use a non-stick baking mat or parchment paper to keep the bread from sticking to the baking sheet.
