Equipment

  • 2 mixing bowls
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Small bowl
  • Offset spatula or butter knife

Ingredients
  

For the Cloud Bread:

  • 3 large eggs separated
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or sugar substitute optional, for a touch of sweetness
  • A pinch of salt

For the Cream Cheese Spread:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon honey or your favorite sugar-free syrup optional
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for a savory twist
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs such as chives, dill, or parsley

Optional toppings for serving:

  • Smoked salmon or turkey slices
  • Sliced cucumber or cherry tomatoes
  • A sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Separate the Eggs:

  • Carefully separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls.
  • Ensure no yolk gets into the whites.

Whip the Egg Whites:

  • Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites.
  • Using an electric mixer, whip until stiff peaks form. This may take 3-5 minutes.
  • The mixture should hold its shape when you lift the whisk.

Mix the Yolks:

  • In the second bowl, mix the egg yolks, softened cream cheese (or Greek yogurt), sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt.
  • Beat until smooth and creamy.

Combine the Mixtures:

  • Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a rubber spatula.
  • Be careful not to deflate the egg whites. The batter should remain fluffy and light.

Portion and Shape:

  • Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 6-8 rounds.
  • Use the back of a spoon to shape them evenly, about 1/2 inch thick.

Bake:

  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

For the Cream Cheese Spread:

  • In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  • Add honey (or sugar-free syrup), garlic powder, and fresh herbs. Mix until well combined.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate until ready to use.
