Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) to prepare for baking the cloud bread.
- Separate the eggs: Carefully separate the egg white from the yolk, placing them into two different bowls.
- Beat egg whites: Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt on high speed until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for achieving the light, fluffy texture.
- Mix egg yolk and cream cheese: In the separate bowl, mix the egg yolk with the tablespoon of cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk and cream cheese mixture into the beaten egg whites using a rubber spatula. Fold slowly and carefully to avoid deflating the egg whites and maintain the airy texture.
- Shape the dough: Spoon the combined mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming round shapes resembling buns.
- Bake the cloud bread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cloud breads are golden brown on the outside.
Notes
- Be gentle when folding to preserve the airiness of the egg whites.
- You can add herbs or spices to the egg yolk mixture for additional flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a toaster or oven to restore fluffiness.
