Ingredients
  

  • 8 Large Eggs Separated carefully. The yolks provide the richness while the whites provide the structure.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese or Mascarpone This provides the creamy body of the bread. Using mascarpone bread techniques yields a slightly sweeter, richer finish.
  • 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar This is the secret to stabilizing the egg whites and ensuring your cloud bread doesn't collapse.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Freshly grated is best for a sharp, savory kick within the cheese bread structure.
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder Just a pinch to help with the lift.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt To balance all those rich flavors.
  • Optional: Parmesan Cheese or Mozzarella Cheese A sprinkle on top for extra decadence.

                Notes

                After making dozens of batches of homemade cloud bread keto, I have learned a few tricks that make a world of difference. First, always use room temperature cream cheese. If it is cold, it will clump and your batter will be lumpy rather than silky. If you are looking for a dairy free keto bread, you can actually use the thick part of canned coconut milk instead of cream cheese, though the flavor change is significant.
