How to Make Cloud Bread
There are a few different versions out there that don’t require any added dairy or sugar, but I found our Better Homes & Gardens Test Kitchen-developed recipe with all the ingredients to be the perfect way to get my bread fix without adding a bunch of carbs to my meal. To start, you’ll gather your eggs, softened cream cheese (make sure you set it out for about 30 minutes), cream of tartar, salt, and sugar. If you don’t have any cream of tartar, you could leave it out or sub in ½ tsp. lemon juice or white vinegar.
Step 1: Whip the Egg Whites
Carefully separate your eggs, putting the egg whites in a medium mixing bowl. Set the yolks in another medium bowl and set aside for now. Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until they reach stiff peaks using an electric mixer.
Step 2: Cream the Egg Yolk Mixture
Grab the bowl you set aside with the egg yolks and combine them with the remaining ingredients. Gently fold in your whipped egg whites to the yolk mixture until just combined.
Step 3: Bake Your Cloud Bread
Drop six large, even spoonfuls of the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in 350ºF oven for about 25 minutes or until they’re golden-brown on top. Let them cool on a wire rack ($9, Target). If you’re following a keto diet plan, you can make this recipe the same way and leave out the sugar or substitute it with a keto-friendly sweetener such as stevia ($6, Target). Enjoy your cloud bread the same way you would any bread. Top it with some butter and jam for a healthy breakfast or fill it with your favorite sandwich toppings for a lightened-up lunch.
