Bacon sandwiches on two different flavors of cloud bread. One has sesame seeds, the other has dill seeds. Both are delicious.
Bread, a staple food in many cultures, has been a dietary mainstay for centuries. However, in recent years, concerns have arisen regarding its health implications, prompting many to explore alternatives. This grain-free recipe contains minimal carbs (from the cream cheese) and can be used for sandwiches, toast, grilled cheese sandwich, bread crumbs, croutons... even as a base for "stuff on a shingle."
• 8 large eggs, separated
• 8 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• grated cheese, seeds,
or seasonings as desired
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Separate the egg whites and yolks into two separate bowls.
3. In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the softened cream cheese and mix until well combined. You can use a food processor, whisk or an electric mixer for this step. This is where you add seasonings. I like garlic and herbs.
4. In the bowl with the egg whites, add the cream of tartar and salt. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until very stiff peaks form. (All problems other people have reported are due to not beating the egg whites enough.)
5. Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites until incorporated. ***Be careful not to overmix*** you want to maintain the fluffy texture.
6. The baking sheet may have seeds or grated cheese of your choice of seasonings sprinkled across the parchment or on top.
7. Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Smooth to almost level. Seeds or toppings can also be added on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
9. Once baked, remove the cloud bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
10. After cool, slide bread and parchment onto cutting board and slide into portions using pizza cutter or scissors. With parchment attached the bread portions can be stacked and bagged until ready to serve. The bread should be refrigerated or frozen until eaten.
