Easy Cloud Bread Recipe – Ridiculously addictive but yet delightful. Light, airy, fluffy, and not to mention a healthy alternative to the traditional high-carb bread options.
This recipe was originally published in February 2018 and is now updated with new pictures and more information.
I know, I know. But as weird-sounding as cloud bread is, these little babies are extremely good.
A friend introduced cloud bread to me many years ago and I have found ways to introduce it to my guests for brunch.
This type of bread is one that most people will never expect, but are usually happy when they do get a chance to try it. It is a shame cloud bread doesn’t receive much recognition.
Why this cloud bread recipe work?
We are talking Airy. Fluffy. Light. Full of protein. They are easy to make and has little to no carb. The best way to eat bread guilt-free, without breaking all the rules.
Is cloud bread gluten free?
Absolutely! Cloud bread is gluten-free. It is also low in carbs, and contain absolutely no grain.
Is cloud bread Keto?
Yes, cloud bread is keto. Cloud bread is a great alternative for bread on the ketogenic (keto) diet.
How many calories does cloud bread have?
Did you know there are 17 calories in 1 large egg white (raw), and there are 55 calories in 1 large egg yolk (raw)? Therefore, 72 calories in 1 large raw egg. Keeping that in mind, one large slice of white bread contains 79 calories. Whereas toasted, wheat bread contains 75 calories. Furthermore, one large raw egg contains 6g of protein.
What is cloud bread and how do you make it?
In a nutshell, cloud bread is a type of “bread” that’s made strictly from eggs. First, whisk the egg whites with vinegar until stiff form.
Whisk together the egg yolks and cream cheese.
Scoop a couple spoonful of the egg mixture unto a baking dish. Bake for 12 minutes. Serve as a side for breakfast, brunch/lunch, and even dinner.
Quick tip: Once the mixture is complete, do not let the egg mixture sit, scoop it right away as it will become runny if it is left out too long. When I was first introduced to this bread I had no idea what I was doing, so it took me a few tries to get it correctly. After going through the process for the millionth time, I finally had success!
Despite not being head over heels with my first few attempts, I did tweak it along the way over the years. For example, instead of using cream cheese, I switched to something easier such as cream cheese spread because it helps enhance the flavor and texture. In my opinion, it is less heavy. The final texture of the cloud bread has a lighter consistency.
I also added a pinch of salt to balance out the flavor.
I used distilled white vinegar because it helps keep the eggs together.
It is paired perfectly with any main dish such as the Mixed Vegetable Mushroom Soup or the Healthy Butternut Squash Soup.
Savory Thoughts: Focus on the good. Start your day with a smile!

zoi
I’ve never heard about this type of bread, I think we are too used to the carbs, I cannot imagine a bread without flour haha 😀 but I might give it a try, especially as it is easy to make and looks tasty, yum!
MDesir
Zoi, that was my reaction to it as well when I was first introduced to it. It is extremely light. I do recommend you add some sort of flavor as it is tasteless if you don’t. The flavored cream cheese does help. If you end up trying it, please let me know how you like it and what other dish or sides you paired it with. Thanks for reading 🙂
