Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large Eggs, separated
  • 3 oz (85g) Cream Cheese, full-fat, softened
  • 1/2 cup (about 56g) Shredded Cheese (mozzarella or cheddar recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried parsley or oregano (or herbs of choice)

Instructions

  1. Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks into two different bowls. This ensures the egg whites can be whipped to achieve the fluffy texture characteristic of cloud bread.
  2. Whip the Egg Whites: Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This means the peaks hold their shape firmly when the whisk is lifted, adding essential air for a light texture.
  3. Mix the Yolks and Cheese: In the bowl with the yolks, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and any optional herbs. Mix until smooth and well blended, ensuring the ingredients incorporate evenly.
  4. Fold Egg Whites into the Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula. Fold carefully to preserve the air trapped in the egg whites and maintain the fluffy texture.
  5. Shape and Bake: Spoon the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into small, round discs about 3-4 inches wide. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bread feels set to the touch.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the Garlic Cheese Cloud Bread to cool slightly before serving. Cooling helps the texture settle so each piece stays soft and slightly chewy with a crispy crust.

Notes

  • Whip Egg Whites Properly: Ensure your mixing bowl is clean and dry for the best volume when beating egg whites.
  • Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese: It provides superior taste and moisture for a soft bread.
  • Don’t Overmix: Folding too aggressively will deflate the egg whites and result in a denser texture.
  • Bake at a Moderate Temperature: Baking at 325°F ensures even cooking without premature browning.
  • Let it Cool Before Removing: Cooling helps the bread firm up, preventing sticking or breaking.
