If you’re following the ketogenic diet, there’s a good chance you’re missing bread. Fear not! We’ve got a super easy recipe for cloud bread that’s light on carbs but heavy enough to stand up to sandwich fillings. The best part? No special ingredients needed! Just eggs, cream of tartar, cream cheese, and salt.

Do I need cream of tartar to make this recipe?

Nope! The only function cream of tartar has in this recipe is as a stabilizer. Basically, it helps you get to stiff peaks faster. If you don’t have any, no worries! You can totally whip your egg whites without it. You (or your stand mixer) will just have to work a bit harder.

Can I add cheese to my cloud bread?

Definitely! We suggest adding about 1/2 cup shredded cheese per batch of cloud bread. We love a mixture of mozzarella and parm. 

How long does cloud bread last?

If you’re keeping your cloud bread at room temperature, it’ll last about 3 days. If you keep it in the fridge, more like a week! You can even freeze your breads–we recommend freezing them flat in a resealable plastic bag with parchment paper between each piece. To reheat, toast on a very low setting of your toaster oven–they burn easily!

Can I use cloud bread for more than sandwiches?

ABSOLUTELY! A few ideas: sop up a delicious soup with a slice or two, cover a slice of cloud bread with keto-friendly pizza sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni and broil for a delicious mini pizza, you could even make some cloud bread bread pudding!
