Keto Cloud Bread
If you haven’t yet tried the Cloud Bread TikTok trend, now is the time! Today I am sharing my best tips and tricks for how to make cloud bread turn out light and airy every time. Delicious fluffy cloud bread without that overpowering eggy flavor!
With its soft, sponge-like texture and subtly neutral taste, this easy cloud bread recipe is the ultimate blank canvas for enjoying both sweet and savory spreads. Whether you’re whipping up this basic 3-Ingredient cloud bread or stuffing it like a sandwich, smearing it with sugar-free jam, or serving it as a low-carb cloud bread snack, you’ll quickly find it’s a game changer for replacing your regular loaf!
Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Cloud Bread
- Extra large eggs: The main ingredient used to make cloud bread! Make sure they’re at room temperature, and separate the whites from the yolks carefully. Even a tiny bit of yolk can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly, so handle it with care for the best results.
- Cream of tartar: Acts as a binder and stabilizer for the egg whites and helps speed up the whipping process. If you don’t have cream of tartar, you can try using 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice for every ½ teaspoon of cream of tartar.
- Cream cheese: Please soften to room temperature before using. You can use 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt instead of the softened cream cheese. To make this bread recipe completely dairy-free, use coconut cream or your favorite dairy-free yogurt. Keep in mind that it may alter the taste and texture of the bread.
- Kosher salt (this is optional, but I highly recommend a pinch of sea salt or kosher salt. Otherwise, the bread has no taste.)
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Cloud Bread
- Separate: Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
- Prepare Stiff Peaks: Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and whip with an electric hand mixer (or stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment) on high until stiff peaks form. Set the bowl aside.
- Make The Yolk Mixture: Whisk together the egg yolks, salt, and cream cheese until completely smooth.
- Fold: Using a silicone spatula, fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, one cup at a time.
- Make Mounds: Spoon the mixture into 6 mounds on the parchment paper prepared baking sheet. Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Cool on the pan for 5 – 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
As I said, this is a basic cloud bread recipe, but there are so many sweet and savory ways to revise the flavor profile. Because, after all, low-carb food is meant to be fun and shouldn’t be bland or boring!
- Bake Garlic Bread: Sprinkle on garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parmesan, and parsley, and you’ll have a garlic roll recipe.
- Bake Cloud Bread Bagels: Spread a wedge of Laughing Cow Spreadable Cheese Wedges (there are a ton of flavors) or a smear of cream cheese on top and then sprinkle with Everything But the Bagel seasoning! It’s like eating a bagel without the carbs that come with it!
- Serve Them Churro Style: With melted butter and a cinnamon sugar substitute mixture, you can make your cloud bread taste like churros!
- Prepare Pizza: Spread some pizza sauce and shredded cheese on top and place it in the toaster oven or air fryer to melt. You can make it meaty with turkey pepperoni slices, crumbled sausage, or diced ham.
- Stuff Cloud Bread Sandwiches: Use two slices as a bread swap for a sandwich. What can you stuff between the bread? Try a BLT sandwich with bacon, lettuce and tomato, a ham and cheese sandwich, or use favorite deli meats. You can also use fillings like chicken or tuna salad with a slice of tomato and lettuce on top.
- Breakfast Cloud Bread: Spread with nut-free chocolate spread, Greek yogurt, or cream cheese mixed with honey or sugar-free maple syrup. Top with fresh berries and enjoy a low-carb morning meal.
Variations and Uses for Cloud Bread
- Give Your Batter A Savory Boost: You can add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley to the bread batter. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese on top before baking. Or season with garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for a savory flavor.
- Serve It Sweet-Syle: For something sweet, mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a tablespoon of sweetener (like stevia or erythritol). Or dust your slice with cinnamon and a pinch of powdered sweetener after baking.
- Serve It Like A Sandwich: Make your mounds a bit bigger for burger buns or sandwich slices. Or keep them small size for sliders.
- Bake Cloud Bread Cookies: You can add a bit of cocoa powder and sweetener to the batter before baking for a chocolatey taste. Sprinkle with a dusting of cinnamon or cocoa powder once baked and you’ve made a sweet snack.
How to Store and Reheat Cloud Bread
To Store Leftovers
Store cloud bread in an airtight container. It is best to keep in the fridge. If stored properly, cloud bread can last for several days.
Freezing Instructions
You can freeze your cloud bread, but separate the layers with parchment paper to prevent the slices from sticking together. However, I have to say that cloud bread is at its best when eaten within the first 12 hours after baking.
Reheating Instructions
You can reheat the cloud bread in the toaster, oven, or air fryer until heated through.

So this is 1g carb for 1 “slice” right? And the recipe makes 6 slices correct?
I use a nutrition plug in to calculate so that is what it is telling me. However, I would recommend checking on your own nutrition calculator for the greatest accuracy.
