Low-Carb Cloud Bread

This Low-Carb Cloud Bread contains about 35 calories and practically zero carbs! It takes just 25 minutes from start to finish, and it is ready to enjoy. I prepare this cloud bread every once in a while for my family, and we all absolutely love it.

Here is how I make it:

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 tsp cream cheese
1/4 tsp cream of tartar (you can substitute with baking powder)
A pinch of salt
1/2 tbsp sweetener (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites and yolks into two different bowls.
Beat the egg whites on high speed until they form stiff peaks.
Mix the yolk batter: In the second bowl, add the cream of tartar, cream cheese, salt, and sweetener to the egg yolks. Beat the mixture together for about 1 minute.
Fold the mixtures: Carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until gently combined. Be very careful not to deflate the fluffiness of the egg whites.
Form the bread: Using a large spoon, scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming 4 to 5 large mounds.
Bake at 350°F for 15 to 17 minutes. Keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven when they reach a beautiful golden color.
Cool: Remove the bread from the baking tray and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Serving Suggestion

Since the side facing the baking tray bakes perfectly flat, it is the ideal surface for your favorite healthy spreads. You can also use two pieces of cloud bread with the flat sides facing inward to make a delicious, low-carb sandwich!

Pro-Tips for Perfect Cloud Bread

While this recipe is incredibly easy, the secret to success lies in the egg whites. Here are a few tips to ensure your bread turns out perfectly fluffy every time:

Achieve stiff peaks: The crucial step is to beat the egg whites thoroughly (without adding any other ingredients to them) until they form stiff peaks. The whipped egg whites are what lift the buns and give them their airy texture. You'll know they are ready when you can turn the bowl upside down and the egg whites don't move!
Fold gently: When combining the two mixtures, fold them together gently to avoid breaking down the fluffiness of the whites.
Keep the oven closed: Do not open the oven door while baking! Letting cold air inside can cause the delicate egg whites to shrink and deflate.
