Equipment
- baking sheet
- hand mixer
- spoon
Ingredients
- 4 room temperature large eggs separated
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3 ounces plain cream cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, softened cream cheese, and salt until smooth.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolks mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over mix the egg whites because they will deflate.
- Using a spoon, scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds about 3 inches in diameter. Gently press down in the center and flatten slightly to form the bread shape. (If topping with seasoning, sprinkle lightly over the surface with your desired topping.)
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the cloud bread as desired.
Notes
- Use large eggs only, medium or small won't work with this recipe.
- Cream of tartar can be swapped for lemon juice or vinegar.
- Parchment paper or a silicone baking mat is essential to avoid sticking.
- Don’t over-whip your egg whites, they should look glossy and smooth, not dry.
- Cottage cheese cloud bread? Blend the cottage cheese until smooth first so it’s creamy before mixing with yolks.
