Cheesy Cloud Bread Bake Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs, separated into whites and yolks
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Fresh herbs (optional, like chives or parsley, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Egg Whites:

    • In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form (this may take about 3-5 minutes). The egg whites should hold their shape and not collapse when you lift the whisk.
  3. Prepare the Egg Yolks and Cream Cheese Mixture:

    • In another mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and baking powder until smooth and well combined. This will create a thick, cheesy batter.
  4. Fold the Mixtures Together:

    • Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk and cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites. You want to maintain as much air as possible to keep the bread fluffy.
  5. Form the Cloud Bread:

    • Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small mounds (about 6-8) that are spread out a bit. You can flatten them gently with the back of the spoon to form round, flat “breads.”
    • Optionally, sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top of each cloud bread for extra cheesiness.
  6. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cloud breads are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
  7. Serve:

    • Once baked, remove the cloud bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes on a wire rack.
    • Serve warm or at room temperature. You can top it with more cheese, herbs, or even a drizzle of olive oil if you like.

Tips:

  • Cheese Variations: You can experiment with different types of cheese based on your preference. Parmesan, gouda, or even feta could work beautifully in this recipe.
  • Herbs & Spices: Feel free to mix in herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil for added flavor. You could also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
  • Texture: If you want your cheesy cloud bread to be crispier, bake it for a few extra minutes until golden brown.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Enjoy your Cheesy Cloud Bread Bake as a side to soups, salads, or even a low-carb sandwich.
  • You can serve them as a snack or breakfast, paired with some avocado, eggs, or smoked salmon.

This Cheesy Cloud Bread Bake is an excellent option for anyone following a low-carb or gluten-free diet but still craving something soft, fluffy, and cheesy. Would you try this recipe, or do you have any other ingredients you’d want to add in?
