🍞 How to Make Cloud Bread Sandwich
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: Separate the Eggs
Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites — you need a clean separation for the fluffiness!
Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites
In a clean mixing bowl, add egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3–5 minutes).
Step 4: Mix the Yolks
In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the cream cheese and salt until smooth.
Step 5: Fold Gently
Using a spatula, gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Do not overmix — the airiness is key!
Step 6: Shape the Clouds
Spoon the mixture into 8 round shapes on the prepared baking tray (these will be your sandwich “buns”). Use the back of a spoon to smooth the tops.
Step 7: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
Step 8: Assemble Your Sandwich
Once cooled slightly, fill with your favorite savory sandwich ingredients: sliced turkey, avocado, cheese, or even a smear of hummus. Be creative!
👩🍳 Tips for the Perfect Cloud Bread Sandwich
- Room-Temperature Ingredients: Helps with even mixing and fluffier texture.
- Whip to Stiff Peaks: This is crucial! Soft peaks = flat bread.
- Let Them Cool: They firm up as they cool, making them easier to handle.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for 2 days. Reheat slightly before serving.
🧠 FAQs
Q: Can I make it dairy-free?

Q: What if I don’t have cream of tartar?
You can use a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar instead.
Q: Can I use sweet fillings instead?
Absolutely! Try whipped cream and strawberries, or almond butter and banana for a sweet treat.
