Ingredients
Scale
For Cloud Bread:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For Filling:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 slices cheddar cheese or preferred cheese
- 2 slices cooked turkey bacon or vegetarian alternative (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs such as chives or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prepares the baking surface for the cloud bread rounds.
- Whisk egg whites: In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites together with cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form. This step is essential to achieve the fluffy texture of the cloud bread.
- Blend egg yolks and cream cheese: In a separate bowl, blend the egg yolks with the softened cream cheese until smooth. This mixture adds richness and structure to the bread.
- Fold mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites until just incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whites. Then, spoon the mixture into four equal rounds on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake cloud bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the bread is golden and set. Once done, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before assembling.
- Prepare scrambled eggs: While the bread bakes, whisk together 2 eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the egg mixture. Scramble gently until just set, ensuring fluffy, soft eggs.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place scrambled eggs on one piece of cloud bread, top with a slice of cheddar cheese and cooked turkey bacon or a vegetarian alternative. Top with another piece of cloud bread to form a sandwich.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally garnish with fresh herbs such as chopped chives or parsley. Serve the sandwich warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for maximum fluffiness of cloud bread.
- Be gentle when folding to avoid deflating the egg whites.
- You can customize the filling with different cheeses or vegetarian bacon alternatives as preferred.
- This recipe is low-carb and gluten-free, making it suitable for special diets.
- Cloud bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
