Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 3 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Eggs
- 3 large Eggs, separated
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Whip Egg Whites: Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Using a mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, ensuring the bread will have a light and airy texture.
- Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cheese mixture just until combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites to maintain the fluffy structure.
- Form and Bake: Spoon the batter into 6 to 8 mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound slightly to shape the breads evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cloud breads turn a light golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cloud breads cool slightly on the baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh herbs or extra cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious side, snack, or sandwich base.
Notes
- Be sure to whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form for maximum fluffiness.
- Folding gently helps maintain the airy texture; avoid overmixing.
- You can customize flavors by adding herbs or spices to the cheese mixture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
