🔪 How to Make Cloud Bread
Preheat oven to 300°F. Separate the eggs into 2 mixing bowls.
Tip: I find it much easier to separate eggs when they’re cold, then let them come to room temperature separately.
In the bowl with the egg whites, add in the cream of tartar and mix using a hand mixer.
Mix until you have stiff peaks, then set aside.
Tip: You know you have stiff peaks when they stand up on the ends of your beaters or you hold the bowl upside down and they stay put.
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add in the cream cheese and salt.
Mix until well combined and smooth.
Pour the egg yolk mixture into the bowl with the egg whites.
Gently fold them together, trying not to deflate the egg whites.
Tip: Sometimes it's best to fold in 2 additions, to keep the whites fluffy.
Scoop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat about 4 inches in diameter.
Tip: I don't recommend making them any bigger or smoothing out the batter too much, otherwise they'll become super flat.
Depending on the size, you should be able to get 6-7. I made 6 in one pan and the 7th on another pan, which I sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until they’re slightly golden and cooked through. Allow to cool on the baking sheet (they will deflate some) at room temperature. You can either serve with some butter, jam, or use them for a sandwich.
I made a ham, egg and cheese sandwich and it turned out perfect!
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a few days, but the texture will be fluffier the first day you make them.

What Does Cloud Bread Taste Like?
Let's be honest, nothing really tastes like bread unless it has some type of flour in it. But this cloud bread will remind you of a mile omelet like flavor. By adding the cream cheese, most of the eggy flavor is reduced.
Is Cloud Bread Actually Bread?
Because it doesn’t use any flour, not even almond flour, like many keto bread recipes do, it’s not exactly bread. Having said that, the texture of the beaten egg whites gives it a bread like taste and feel, that’s gluten-free and with just one net carb!
Ways to Use Cloud Bread
Breakfast: Make breakfast sandwiches out of it with sausage, bacon or eggs. Or just top a piece with this sugar free Strawberry Chia Seed Jam, Blackberry or Raspberry Jam.
Lunch: Cloud bread makes a delicious sandwich with your favorite cheese and deli-meat. You can also use thinly sliced leftover Air Fryer Turkey Breast or this Glazed Ham.
Dinner: Serve it as a side with your favorite soup for a complete meal. It's great with this Vegetable Beef Soup, Spinach Artichoke Chicken Soup and or this Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup.
Can You Make Cloud Bread Without Cornstarch?
Most cloud bread recipes call for cornstarch as a binding agent. For this recipe cream of tartar is used instead. Either will work for this recipe but you will need to use one or the other.
Is Cloud Bread Healthier than Regular Bread?
When comparing it to traditional bread, cloud bread is much healthier in most regards. It's grain-free and it also has a lot fewer carbs, so it's ideal for anyone eating low carb or Keto.

I made these yesterday. They turned out well except that they are extremely salty. Is the quantity of salt accurate on your recipe (1/2 tsp)? next time I'll tey 1/8 or 1/4 tsp. I didn't have cream cheese, so I used home made "yogurt cheese" instead.
Keto Cooking Christian
I'm not sure why yours tasted salty. 1/2 tsp for six servings is very little salt. Maybe it was something in the "yogurt cheese" you used.

Certainly sounds easy enough.

Super easy and it's a great stand in for bread.
