Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (mozzarella or cheddar recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives, finely chopped
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika (for spicy variation)
  • Additional cheeses like Parmesan or Gruyere for richer flavor

Instructions

  1. Separate and Whip the Eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Whisk the egg whites vigorously with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, which is essential for creating that airy cloud-like texture.
  2. Mix the Yolks with Cheese and Garlic: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, cream cheese, grated cheese, garlic powder (or fresh garlic), baking powder, and optional herbs if using. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Fold in the Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk and cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whites, as this ensures the bread remains fluffy when baked.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Spoon the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in individual rounds. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden on top and cooked through.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cloud breads to cool slightly on a wire rack. They’re best enjoyed warm to savor the melty cheese and soft, fluffy texture at their peak.

Notes

  • Whip egg whites properly: Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and dry to achieve perfect stiff peaks.
  • Fold gently: Use a spatula to fold the egg whites in slowly to preserve airiness.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs and cheese make a noticeable difference in flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on the bread to avoid drying it out, as it bakes quickly.
  • Serve warm: Cloud bread is at its best when served shortly after baking to enjoy its airy texture and melted cheese.
