Cloud Bread Savory Toast (Print Version)

Light and airy cloud bread with garlic, Parmesan, and fresh herbs. Gluten-free and low-carb.

# Ingredient List:

→ Egg Mixture

01 - 3 large eggs, separated
02 - ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

→ Cheese & Flavorings

03 - ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 garlic clove, minced
06 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
08 - ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
09 - ¼ teaspoon salt
10 - ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer or hand whisk.
03 - In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chives, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.
04 - Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, taking care not to deflate the batter.
05 - Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming six even rounds about ½ inch thick.
06 - Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and set.
07 - Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for best texture.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • These little clouds manage to be both substantial and light as air simultaneously, with crisp edges giving way to a tender center that melts on your tongue.
  • The combination of fresh herbs and Parmesan creates a deeply savory foundation that elevates whatever you serve them with, unlike those bland gluten-free alternatives that leave you wanting.
02 -
  • The bowl for your egg whites absolutely must be free of any grease or residue, or your whites will never reach proper peaks no matter how long you whip them.
  • These cloud breads are at their absolute prime when served warm, as they tend to lose their delightful contrast of textures once completely cooled.
03 -
  • For the ultimate texture contrast, let the edges get slightly more golden than the centers, creating a delicate crisp exterior that gives way to that signature cloud-like interior.
  • If your kitchen is particularly humid, add an extra minute or two of baking time, as moisture in the air can affect how well these set up and maintain their structure.
