Main Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 oz softened Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cloud bread doesn’t stick and bakes evenly.
- Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites into two different bowls; this step is essential to whipping the egg whites for lightness.
- Mix the Yolks with Cheese and Garlic: In the bowl with yolks, add softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt, then mix until smooth and combined.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until firm peaks form—this will give the cloud bread its signature airy texture.
- Fold Whites Into Yolk Mixture: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cheesy yolk mixture, preserving as much air as possible to maintain fluffiness.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop the batter into six even rounds on the lined baking sheet, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Garlic Cheese Cloud Bread to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to let them set perfectly.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure easier mixing and better texture.
- Gently fold the egg whites to retain air and keep the bread light and fluffy.
- Ensure your baking powder is fresh for a good rise and fluffiness.
- Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form; soft peaks result in denser bread.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture, but leftovers can be reheated without drying out.
