3 large eggs
3 ounces cream cheese, softened

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Separate eggs: Place yolks in one bowl and whites in another.

Whip whites: Sprinkle cream of tartar over egg whites if using. Beat with clean beaters until very stiff peaks form.
Fold: Gently fold yolk mixture into whites using a spatula. Do not overmix—keep the mixture fluffy.
Shape: Spoon 6 equal mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden but not overly crisp.

FAQs

1. What is cloud bread made of?

Just eggs, cream cheese, and cream of tartar or a stabilizer for fluffiness.

2. Can I double the recipe?

No—doubling may deflate the whites. It’s best to make multiple small batches.

3. What does cream of tartar do?

It stabilizes egg whites, helping them whip up firm and stay fluffy.

4. Can I make it dairy-free?

Use dairy-free cream cheese alternatives, though texture may vary.

5. Is this suitable for egg fasts?

Yes—spread with butter for optimal fat-to-protein ratios.

6. Do I need cream of tartar?

No, but it helps prevent the egg whites from collapsing.

7. Can I use cottage cheese instead of cream cheese?

Yes, but blend until smooth for best texture.

8. Why are my rolls flat?

Possibly overmixed or under-whipped egg whites. Be gentle when folding.

9. Are these rolls good for sandwiches?

Yes—they’re ideal for light sandwiches, burgers, or wraps.

Beat egg whites until very stiff and don’t overbake. Almond flour also adds structure.
