Ingredients

3 large eggs

1 oz cream cheese

1 dash of salt

1 pinch cream of tartar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line baking pan with parchment paper or silicone liner.
Separate eggs into two bowls, one for yolks and one for whites.
Add cream cheese and salt to yolks and blend well with an electric hand mixer.
Sprinkle cream of tartar on egg whites, and whip with a clean electric mixer until very stiff.
Using a spatula, gradually fold egg yolk mixture into egg white mixture. To keep whipped egg whites fluffy, handle them gently and avoid overmixing.
Spoon six mounds of mixture onto prepared baking pan and flatten each mound slightly.
Bake cloud bread for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a baking pan for three to five minutes, then enjoy!

Recipe tips:

Make sure cream cheese is softened before blending with the egg yolks to avoid lumps in batter.
For a more golden brown appearance, brush top of cloud bread with melted butter before baking.
To make chocolate cloud bread, add cocoa powder and keto-friendly sweeteners such as stevia or erythritol to yolk mixture.

What is keto cloud bread?

Keto cloud bread, or oopsie bread, is one of the most popular keto bread recipes and an excellent replacement for carb-heavy wheat bread. Its name reflects its fluffy texture and cloud-like appearance.

Cloud bread is made primarily with eggs, which have endless health benefits, including being a great source of protein, essential vitamins, and minerals.

There remains a common misconception that eggs raise cholesterol. However, egg consumption doesn’t significantly affect blood cholesterol levels.

Research published in Nutrients confirms that "Hen’s eggs provide choline, folate, vitamin D, iodine, B vitamins, and high-quality protein and are no longer viewed by national bodies as a risk factor for hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD). "

The addition of cream cheese and baking powder helps achieve a light and airy bread that’s perfect for those following a low-carb diet.
