Cloud Bread Savory Garlic Toast (Print Version)

Light, fluffy bread with garlic, Parmesan, and herbs. Perfect gluten-free option for soups and spreads.

# What You'll Need:

→ Egg Mixture

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

→ Cheese & Flavorings

03 - ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 0.9 oz)
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 Make It:

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.
03 - In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chives, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.
04 - Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
05 - Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming six even rounds approximately ½ inch thick each.
06 - Bake for 25 minutes, or until the rounds are golden brown and set.
07 - Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm to enjoy the best texture.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • You get all the satisfaction of bread without the heavy, carb-laden aftermath that makes you need a nap
  • The texture is somewhere between a souffle and your favorite cheesy toast, which is basically magic
02 -
  • Overmixing when folding the egg whites is the number one way to end up with flat, sad bread instead of fluffy clouds
  • These are best served warm from the oven, but they reheat surprisingly well in a toaster oven for 2 minutes
03 -
  • Use a metal bowl and clean beaters for whipping egg whites, any trace of fat will prevent proper peaks from forming
  • Make sure your cream cheese is truly softened or you will end up with tiny lumps in your finished bread
