Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs separated
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar to stabilize the egg whites
  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese softened (about 2 ounces)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt for a touch of flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for a savory twist
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder to enhance the overall taste

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
    Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). This ensures the bread cooks evenly.
  2. Step 2: Separate the Eggs
    Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and the yolks in a smaller bowl. Be cautious not to let any yolk mix with the whites.
  3. Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites
    Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and use an electric mixer to whip them until stiff peaks form. This can take about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Mix the Yolks
    In the smaller bowl, add the softened cream cheese, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the egg yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Combine the Mixtures
    Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Step 6: Shape the Bread
    Spoon dollops of the batter onto the lined baking sheet, shaping them into rounds.
  7. Step 7: Bake
    Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Enjoy
    Once baked, remove from the oven and let the Cloud Bread cool on a wire rack. Enjoy it fresh or store it for later!

  • For a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of sweetener like honey or maple syrup to the egg yolk mixture.
