Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Whip the Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully. Using a clean bowl and whisk or mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form—this means they hold their shape firmly when you lift the whisk. This step is crucial for achieving that airy, fluffy texture.
- Combine the Cheeses and Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix shredded cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. The combination creates the savory base and infused garlic flavor.
- Fold Egg Whites into Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the cheese and seasoning mixture. Be delicate to avoid deflating the whipped whites, maintaining the bread’s light and fluffy texture.
- Shape and Bake: Spoon the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in round or cloud-like shapes. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 25-30 minutes, until edges turn golden and the bread is set but still soft inside.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cloud bread to cool slightly on a wire rack. This helps it firm up without losing softness, making it perfect to eat immediately or top with your favorite spreads.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for easier whipping and better volume.
- Fold the egg whites gently to preserve air bubbles and maintain fluffiness.
- Choose fresh, high-quality cheese for the best flavor.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal.
- Serve immediately for optimal fluffiness, though leftover bread can still be enjoyed later.
