If you haven’t heard of cloud bread yet, let us be the first to share the good news. This low-carb wonder bread gives you the satisfaction of eating bread, minus the carbs.

Made up almost entirely of protein, it’s light and fluffy, but sturdy enough to bookend a sandwich or act as toast.

Most cloud bread recipes call for eggs, cream of tartar (a natural thickener), and cream cheese. In our version of cloud bread, using Greek yogurt creates the best texture.

The sandwich-sized rounds came out of the oven with a crisp exterior and fluffy – you guessed it – cloud-like interior. When stored overnight, they become soft and chewy.

Cloud bread tastes faintly of egg, but if you add a pinch of salt, it tastes more like traditional bread. You can adjust the flavor to your liking with a sprinkling of crushed herbs like oregano or basil, a dusting of paprika or cumin, or sweeten the batter with a dash of honey.

Note: This recipe makes 3 servings; each serving is 2 slices.

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
3 large eggs
1 dash cream of tartar
1 dash sea salt, (or Himalayan salt) (to taste, optional)
⅓ cup reduced-fat (2%) plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

Heat oven to 300° F.
Lightly coat large baking sheet with spray. Set aside.
Separate egg yolks from egg whites. Place whites in a medium bowl. Place yolks in a separate medium bowl. Set aside.
Add cream of tartar to egg whites. Beat with a mixer on high until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
Add salt and yogurt to egg yolks. Beat with a mixer on medium until blended.
Gently fold ⅓ of egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture. Fold in the remaining egg white mixture until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Using a spoon, transfer a scoop of egg mixture onto prepared baking sheet, gently spreading into a thick pancake shape about 3 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining batter to make 3 cloud breads.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and exterior is crispy to the touch. Immediately loosen cloud breads with a spatula; allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
