Prep Time

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25–30 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Servings

Makes 6–8 pieces

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs (separated)
  • 3 tbsp cream cheese (softened)
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar (or a few drops lemon juice)
  • 1 tbsp sweetener or sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder (optional for extra fluffiness)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Separate Eggs

Carefully separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls.

Step 3: Make Yolks Mixture

In the yolk bowl, mix cream cheese until smooth. Add egg yolks, salt, and baking powder. Whisk until creamy and lump-free.

Step 4: Whip Egg Whites

In another bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form (this is what makes it fluffy).

Step 5: Fold Gently

Slowly fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites. Do this gently to keep the air inside.

Step 6: Shape & Bake

Spoon mixture into round dollops on the baking tray. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden and firm.

Step 7: Cool & Serve

Let cloud bread cool completely before removing. It will firm up as it cools.

Tips

  • Don’t overmix or it will flatten.
  • Make sure egg whites are fully whipped for best fluffiness.

Notes
