Description
This High Protein Cloud Bread uses just 3 simple ingredients to create a fluffy, protein-packed bread alternative that’s perfect for keto, low-carb, and gluten-free diets. With 7g of protein per piece and only 1g of carbs, it’s the ideal substitute for traditional bread without sacrificing taste or texture.
Ingredients
6 large eggs, separated
6 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Separate eggs carefully – whites in one large bowl, yolks in another. Room temperature eggs work best.
3. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer, about 3-4 minutes. Peaks should hold their shape when you lift the beaters.
4. In the second bowl, mix cream cheese, egg yolks, and baking powder until smooth and creamy.
5. Gently fold the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the peaks.
6. Spoon mixture onto prepared baking sheet in 8-10 mounds, leaving space between each one.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and set. They should spring back lightly when touched.
Notes
Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Make sure your bowl is completely clean and dry when whipping egg whites – even a tiny bit of grease can prevent proper whipping.
Don’t overmix when folding – gentle motions preserve the airy texture.
Recipe scales perfectly for larger batches.
Can be made ahead by prepping components separately the night before.
