Cloud bread is a type of bread that is made without flour, yeast, or baking powder. It is made by whipping egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently folding in egg yolks, cheese, and other ingredients. The batter is then dropped by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and baked until golden brown. Cloud bread is light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. It can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. You can top it with anything you like, such as smoked salmon, cream cheese, sour cream, or jam. Cloud bread is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional bread.

  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1/4 pound smoked salmon, thinly sliced
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks, mozzarella, cream cheese and sour cream until light and fluffy.
  5. Fold egg yolk mixture into egg white mixture until just combined.
  6. Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Why It Works
  • Whipping the egg whites until stiff peaks form creates a structure that traps air, resulting in a light and fluffy bread.
  • Folding the egg yolk mixture into the egg white mixture gently prevents the bread from deflating.
  • Baking the bread at a low temperature helps it to cook through without drying out.
