Cloud bread ok?

(AnnaLeeThal) #1

I have never made cloud bread before last night. Had some egg whites that needed using so I whipped them with cream of tartar and then mixed in some cream cheese. That’s it.

Is something like this ok on ZC? I realize everyone kinda does their own thing, but I assume it’s ok since there are no plants, flour, nuts, etc… They were so easy to make and actually tasty so I would probably make them regularly for some variety and something to slather butter or other things on.

Of course! Cloud bread, aka oopsie bread, is only animal products.

That was me. Didn’t know I’d been logged out. Weird it let me post.

That’s what I figured, I didn’t know if there was some weird rule that you can’t eat stuff that is pretending to be a carb.

I understand some would say so. I’m new too, and am considering that so long as it’s animal products only, with no sweet, it’s fair game. :grinning:

I think the only concern is that substitution foods like cloud bread can trigger cravings. As long as it doesn’t make you want more and more, it should be okay. :+1:

I really try to pay attention to this.

If it’s all actually food i imagine it’s fine. There was definitely a while where I was “Keto baking” a lot and realized I was still just eating a bunch of artificial sweetener and nutritionally bankrupt stuff, so even if it’s not as blatantly poisonous as actually sugary things, it’s still not a terribly healthy relationship with food.

Yep. Totally agree. I haven’t done a lot of Keto baking for this reason. Oh yeah, and because I’m lazy.

I’ve tried to stay away from keto baking but this ‘cloud bread’ sounds interesting. Any good recipe?

:fork_and_knife:

The recipe I’ve been using is 3-4 egg whites, 1/8 tsp cream of tartar beaten until stiff. Then fold in softened cream cheese. Plop in circles on a greased or parchment lined pan, bake at 300 degrees until lightly browned. Maybe 25-30 min.

I’m experimenting with perfecting the recipe. I tried it with sour cream last night. That was good too.

You got me curious … I may have to whip some up for breakfast thanks!

After whipping the egg whites until stiff with the cream of tartar, I gently fold in the yolks which add the nutritional density, unlike the whites. You could also gently fold in the cream cheese, but I have not tried that, since I am sensitive to dairy.
Place any shape on parchment paper baked @ 300 until firm which depends on the shape and thickness of your “oopsie”.
I do wonder about losing the nutritional content of the very delicate fat soluble vitamins when the yolk is cooked, however.

I’m going to try these using the yolks next time, the only reason I didn’t was because I used the yolks for a different recipe. The whites were left over!

The last two times I made these they turned out funny, curled up on the sides. So…some more experimentation is in order.
