Cloud Bread Savory Toast (Print Version)

Light and fluffy cloud bread enhanced with garlic, Parmesan, and fresh herbs. Gluten-free and low-carb.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Egg Mixture

01 - 3 large eggs, separated
02 - 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

→ Cheese & Flavorings

03 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 garlic clove, minced
06 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
08 - 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
03 - In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, herbs, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.
04 - Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, taking care not to deflate the batter.
05 - Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming six even rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
06 - Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
07 - Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for best texture.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • This bread laughs in the face of carb counting while tasting absolutely indulgent and buttery.
  • It comes together faster than ordering delivery, which means you can actually impress someone on a Tuesday night.
  • The texture is genuinely magical—crispy outside, cloud-soft inside, and you made it without any flour or yeast.
02 -
  • Overfolding is the quiet killer here—treat those whites like they're made of spun sugar and your instinct will be right.
  • Room temperature matters more than you'd expect; cold eggs resist mixing and refuse to incorporate smoothly, so pull them from the fridge a few minutes early.
03 -
  • An electric mixer saves your arms and delivers more consistent peaks than whisking by hand, but either method works if you're patient.
  • Don't open the oven door before 20 minutes have passed—the temperature drop can crash your clouds mid-rise, a mistake that teaches humility quickly.
