Cloud Bread Recipe (Not Eggy & No Cream of Tartar)
This cloud bread recipe makes soft, fluffy low carb bread rounds with just 3 simple ingredients and no cream of tartar. Unlike some cloud bread recipes that turn out too eggy, this version uses only 2 yolks for a lighter flavor and better texture. Perfect for sandwiches, burgers, breakfast toast, and easy keto meals.

Ingredients
- 3 Large Eggs
- 2 Ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- ⅛ teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 300F and line a 13x9 sheet pan with parchment paper (not wax paper) or a silicone baking mat.
- Seperate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Place 2 of the yolks in a medium sized mixing bowl with 2 ounces of softened cream cheese, and the 3 egg whites in a different medium sized mixing bowl. The remaining egg yolk can be saved for a different recipe.
- Dust ⅛ teaspoon of baking powder on top of the egg whites. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
- Next, the egg yolks and softened cream cheese need to be beaten with the hand mixer until there are no lumps.
- Now we can take ⅓ of the egg whites and fold them into the egg yolk mixture. Once all folded in, add in another ⅓ of the egg whites and fold those in. Finish with the remaining egg whites.
- I like to fold until all of the egg white is incorporated. Egg white not incorporated will just crumble when handled after they are baked.
- Scoop the mixture into 6 rounds on the 13 x 9 baking sheet.
- Bake in a 300F oven for about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when golden and let cool. See notes for freezing.
Notes
- For the best texture, make sure the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks before folding them into the cream cheese mixture. The peaks should hold their shape when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
- I only use 2 egg yolks in this recipe because using all 3 can make the cloud bread taste more eggy.
- Cream cheese substitutes: Greek yogurt, sour cream, mascarpone cheese, or mayonnaise for a dairy free option.
- These are best after cooling for a few minutes and work great for sandwiches, burgers, breakfast toast, or mini pizzas.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days with parchment paper between the pieces if stacking.
- Freezing instructions: Flash freeze the cloud bread rounds on a parchment lined tray until solid, then store with parchment paper between each piece to prevent sticking.
- Topping ideas: Everything bagel seasoning, parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, cinnamon and sweetener, garlic powder, or shredded cheddar cheese. Add toppings before baking.
