Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (or full-fat plain Greek yogurt for a variation)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in a small bowl and set the whites aside in a large, clean mixing bowl.
- In the bowl with the yolks, add the softened cream cheese and the salt. Whisk these together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. You want the whites to hold their shape when you lift the beaters.
- Gently fold about one-third of the beaten egg whites into the yolk and cream cheese mixture to lighten it.
- Carefully fold the remaining egg whites into the mixture in two additions. Work slowly to keep as much air in the mixture as possible; this creates the fluffy texture.
- Spoon four equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. You can shape them into rounds resembling buns.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown and the bread is set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cloud bread cool on the sheet for a few minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely. Use this as your guilt free bread substitute.
Notes
- For a slightly different texture, you can substitute the cream cheese with 4 tablespoons of full-fat plain Greek yogurt, though the texture will be slightly less stable.
- This bread is best eaten the day it is made for the softest texture. You can lightly toast slices for carnivore toast.
- If you want a savory bake, add a pinch of garlic powder (if your diet allows trace spices) to the yolk mixture.
