Let's cook

  1. Separate cleanly

    Separate the eggs carefully. Any trace of yolk in the whites will stop them whipping to stiff peaks.

    💡

    One drop of yolk ruins the whole batch. Separate each egg into a small bowl first.

  2. Whip to stiff peaks

    Beat the whites with the cream of tartar until they hold stiff, glossy peaks that stand upright when the beater is lifted.

  3. Smooth the yolk mixture

    Beat the yolks with the cream cheese, sugar, and salt until completely smooth with no lumps.

  4. Fold gently

    Fold the yolk mixture into the whites in three additions with a spatula, cutting down and turning over. Stirring knocks all the air out.

    💡

    Fold, do not stir. The air you whipped in is the entire structure.

  5. Bake low

    Spoon six mounds onto a lined tray and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and dry to the touch. Cool on the tray.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes

Cloud bread is best on the day it is made — it softens overnight, though it holds up reasonably in an airtight container for two days. Use it for sandwiches or as a burger bun replacement.

  • Savoury: Add garlic powder and herbs to the yolk mixture.
  • Sweet: Vanilla and a little more sweetener, served with berries.
  • Crisper: Leave in the switched-off oven for 10 minutes after baking.
