Make light and fluffy cloud bread, a perfect low carb and gluten free bread substitute using only three simple ingredients. This whipped egg white bread is great for keto breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl.
  3. Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. The mixture should hold its shape when you lift the beaters.
  4. In a separate small bowl, briefly mix the softened cream cheese until it is smooth.
  5. Gently fold the cream cheese into the stiff egg whites using a spatula. Do this carefully to keep as much air in the mixture as possible.
  6. Spoon six equal mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into rounds, like small buns.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cloud bread cool completely on the baking sheet before handling.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure your mixing bowl for the egg whites is completely free of any fat or water residue.
  • If your cloud bread collapses after baking, it often means the egg whites were not beaten to stiff peaks or you deflated the batter when folding in the cream cheese.
  • You can add a pinch of salt or garlic powder to the cream cheese for a savory flavor variation.
  • This protein-packed bread alternative is best eaten the same day you make it.
