Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
  • 3 oz (85g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch for egg whites
  • Optional sweetener: 1 teaspoon honey, maple syrup, or preferred sweetener (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Bring the cream cheese and eggs to room temperature for smoother mixing and to avoid lumps. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Separate and Whip Egg Whites: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing them in two different bowls. Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form, which is essential for achieving the cloud-like fluffiness.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese and Yolks: In the bowl with the egg yolks, combine the softened cream cheese, baking powder, salt, and optional sweetener. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
  4. Fold in the Egg Whites: Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the cream cheese and yolk mixture. Take your time to keep as much air trapped in the batter as possible—this step is key to the light and fluffy texture.
  5. Shape and Bake: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6 to 8 rounds spaced evenly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the rounds feel slightly firm to the touch. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • Bring ingredients to room temperature to ensure even mixing and smooth batter.
  • Do not overfold the egg whites to maintain airiness and volume.
  • Maintain a low and steady oven temperature to prevent over-browning and ensure even baking.
  • Consume cloud bread fresh or store properly to keep its fluffiness.
