Everything Bagel Cloud Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl. Make sure there are no traces of egg yolk in the whites, as this can affect the volume of your cloud bread.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth. You can add optional garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor, if desired.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Soft peaks means that when you lift the beaters, the peaks of egg whites curl over slightly.
- Gently fold the egg yolk and cream cheese mixture into the beaten egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.
- Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming rounds that resemble bagels. Leave space between each round as they will spread slightly during baking.
- Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning evenly over the tops of the cloud bread rounds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown and set. The bread should feel firm to the touch and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Everything Bagel Cloud Bread as a low-carb alternative to traditional bread! It’s great for sandwiches, as a side dish, or as a snack.
