Using both the whites and the yolks in this recipe helps to reduce food waste, tastes better, and is more nutritious! No worries if you have not had success in the past with making meringues. I’m going to tell you the secret that finally helped me to overcome years of meringue-making failure!
Have you heard of cloud bread? This grain-free, high-protein “bread” is typically made with eggs, cream cheese, cream of tartar, and spices of your choosing.

I swapped out the cream cheese in classic cloud bread for some plain Greek yogurt. For cheese, cream cheese is surprisingly low in protein. Using plain Greek yogurt instead gives you a little extra protein boost.
If you’ve tried and been disappointed by the banana-egg pancake recipe that is floating around the web, I still recommend trying this. (We thought the banana-egg pancakes tasted like banana omelets, but YMMV.) I was worried that these “breads” would be omelet-like, but thankfully that was not the case.
Instead, these “breads” are light, flexible, and taste like whatever spices you choose to flavor them with. I went with Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoning for its versatility and pop of flavor. Some other ideas are garlic powder, Italian seasoning, cinnamon, or Chinese five-spice.

If you wanted to make 3 ingredient cloud bread, you could skip the seasoning altogether! The simple and inexpensive ingredients make this an easy recipe to whip up whenever a craving strikes.
What I’m about to say may seem obvious and silly to experienced bakers and chefs. However, I have never had success in making a fluffy meringue until very recently. If you are making meringue, my top tip is to make sure you use unpasteurized egg whites.
I had been trying to make meringue using pasteurized egg whites from a carton, and it was always a flop. Yes, it is a bad idea to consume raw egg whites. Uncooked egg whites contain a glycoprotein called avidin, which can interfere with biotin absorption, possibly leading to a deficiency.
Ingredient Cloud Bread (no Flour, Butter Or Oil)
However, meringue is always cooked, so there is no reason to take the extra precautionary step of using pasteurized whites. Cooking denatures avidin, rendering it unable to prevent biotin absorption.
Some sources claim that it is possible to use pasteurized whites for meringues. However, you may have to beat the whites for four times as long. I can tell you that even after 20 minutes under the mixer, I’ve never produced a fluffy meringue with pasteurized whites.
Since we’re using shell eggs, we need to separate the whites from the yolks. Though I dislike cluttering my kitchen with additional equipment, having an egg white separator is very handy. This inexpensive tool quickly drains the whites from the yolks with little mess.

I was unable to find this neat little gadget in my local stores, so I picked one up here. If you ever need to add a little something extra to your Amazon order for free shipping, I’d check it out!
If you modify the main ingredients in this recipe, I can’t recommend it will work. Don’t just try throwing some almond flour in there or something like that. The egg whites might not get fluffy like you need them to here.
That said, you do have some leeway in making seasoning substitutions. I’ve also seen recipes for cloud bread using sour cream in place of yogurt.

Put the egg whites and cream of tartar in a big bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, whip them on high until stiff peaks form. This took me 4-5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, and Everything Bagel seasoning until smooth. Gently fold this mixture into the whipped egg whites. Your cloud bread batter should be an even color, but don’t overmix it.
With the back of a spoon, gently spread each blob into a 4-inch (10 cm) circle. Try to make the circles a uniform thickness to help ensure even cooking. Mine were about ½-inch thick (1.27 cm).

Bake the cloud bread for 30 minutes on a rack one-third down from the top of the oven. They should be golden on the outside and not jiggly in the middle when they are finished cooking. Let them cool to room temperature before eating.

We quickly learned that when you dip cloud bread in a hot soup, it disappears. Whoops! So, I’d say cloud bread is not your best option if you want a dipper for a hot entrée.

What works much better is using it as a vehicle to eat chilled salad. I think this turkey salad or this chicken salad would be great choices.

Yes, believe it or not, you can freeze cloud bread! Wrap the breads individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag in the freezer.
You can microwave frozen cloud bread (unwrapped) for 20-30 seconds on high to defrost it. Check it in 5 second increments, since all microwaves cook a little differently.
Another way to defrost frozen cloud bread is to use an air fryer. Unwrap the bread and cook for 2 minutes at 400F (200C). Put the bread in a single layer for air frying, and use the top rack if you have an air fryer oven.

To thaw frozen cloud bread in the fridge, unwrap it and let it thaw on a plate in the fridge for a few hours. I was surprised at how cloud bread maintains its texture when frozen and thawed.
