KETO Everything Cloud Bread

This bread is literally 'everything'!!

6 grams of protein & 1 gram of carbs per serving!

If you don't feel like spending an arm and a leg on store bought Keto bread
and are looking for the perfect vehicle for sandwiches & snacks, look no further! It's a little crispy around the edges, and soft in the center like 'real' bread because it's not really bread at all!  However, it's surprisingly satisfying, has only 4 ingredients, and is pretty simple to make. Check out my photos for a step-by-step guide:)


You're going to need 3 eggs, 3 tablespoons of cream cheese, 1/8 tsp of cream of tartar, and 'everything' seasoning (basically sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, salt and pepper) (optional).


Separate the egg yolks from the whites and put into a small bowl.
Dump the egg whites into a large mixing bowl.


Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites, and using the whisk attachment, mix on high until stiff peaks form. You can also use a hand held mixer.  FUN FACT: Cream of tartar is an acidic salt that's a byproduct of wine and grape juice processing. It's primarily used as a stabilizer and will help the
 egg whites stiffen up. Only use in small quantities.

Next, add 3 Tbsp of cream cheese to the egg yolks and mix until combined.

Add about a cup of the merengue (egg white mixture) and lightly mix until it's just incorporated.

Then add the yolk mixture to the stiff merengue and just barely, ever so gently, fold to incorporate. You'll want it lumpy and fluffy.

Spoon it into 6 little clumps on a cookie sheet. I like to use silpats, but if you don't happen to have any, just make sure your surface (tinfoil or straight onto the pan) is greased. I like to use a fine mist of Pam oil spray.

Gently spread the tops down with a spatula or butter knife to round them out. Then, sprinkle on everything seasoning if you are using it. Bake at 300 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. 

Your cloud bread should be slightly golden when it's finished. Mine took aprox 22 minutes, so I would set your timer for 20 minutes to check on them, and adjust the time accordingly after that. Transfer your cloud bread to a rack immediately to cool after pulling them out from the oven. They need to completely cool for 45 minutes. 

Cloud bread can be frozen for up to a month and defrosts in seconds. If you toast the bread, be careful! I made a broiled grilled cheese sandwich in the oven and it literally only took seconds to get brown and toasty. BLT's are a favorite to make from cloud bread. So get creative with it & ENJOY!
