0.25 teaspoon Cream of Tartar

- Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the whites in a very clean, dry bowl and the yolks in a separate small bowl

- To the egg yolks, add the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined
- Gently fold the yolk mixture into the stiff egg whites using a spatula, just until no streaks of yellow remai
- Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 round breads. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch

Notes
For best results, ensure egg whites are at room temperature and use a very clean, grease-free bowl and whisk for whipping the egg whites.
Be extra gentle when folding the yolk mixture into the egg whites to preserve airiness; do not overmix.
Try to make your rounds relatively uniform in size for even baking.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the Egg Fast Cloud Bread chewy; gently warm in a toaster oven instead.
This low-carb cloud bread also freezes well for up to one month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Making your own fluffy Egg Fast Cloud Bread is surprisingly straightforward!
1. Preheat Oven & Prep: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking
2. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the whites in a very clean, dry bowl (metal or glass is best) and the yolks in a separate small bowl.
3. Whip Egg Whites: Add the cream of tartar and salt to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until they form stiff, glossy peaks. This is crucial for airy Egg Fast Cloud Bread.
4. Combine Yolks: To the egg yolks, add the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
5. Gently Fold: Carefully and gently fold the yolk mixture into the stiff egg whites. Use a spatula and fold just until no streaks of yellow remain. Overmixing deflates the whites, affecting the texture of your Egg Fast Cloud Bread.
6. Form & Bake: Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 round “breads.” Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
7. Cool: Let your gorgeous Egg Fast Cloud Bread cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy immediately!
