Cook Time

20-30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 egg yolks

  • A pinch of salt

  • 3 ounces of cream cheese

  • Egg whites left over from the egg yolks

  • A pinch of cream of tartar

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 150°c (300°f). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  2. Prepare the egg yolks mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the egg yolks, salt and softened cream cheese until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a uniform texture

  3. Whip the egg whites: In a separate, clean bowl , add the egg whites and pinch of cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg white on high speed until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. The cream of tartar helps stabilise the egg whites, giving the bread it's fluffy texture.

  4. Fold the mixture together: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites. Use a spatula to combine the mixtures with gentles, sweeping motions until just mixed.

  5. Shape the cloud bread: Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 6-8 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to firm rounds, resembling small bread rolls or burger buns.

  6. Bake: Place the baking tray into the oven and bake the cloud breads for 20-30 mins or until the cloud breads are golden brown and set. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.

  7. Cool: Once baked, remove the cloud bread from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain their structure and prevents sogginess.

Tips for Perfect Cloud Bread:

  • Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temp to ensure it mixes well with egg yolks.
  • Egg Whites: Ensure no yolk gets into the egg whites when separating the eggs. Even a small amount of yolk can prevent the white from whipping up properly.
  • Storing: Store any leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the fridge. They stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
