  • Carefully fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, ensuring you don’t lose too much of the air in the egg whites.
  • Scoop the batter onto the baking paper into serving sizes you desire.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
  • Let the cloud bread cool for a few minutes before removing from the paper.

    • Hi Stephen, thanks for the question. We haven’t tried freezing the bread but we’d recommend the following steps:

      1. Wrap bread individually in baking paper or freezer-safe bags.
      2. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
      3. Reheat from frozen in the toaster – no need to defrost.

      We hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes!

    • Love that you made it work—even with Philly Light, Alex! While we do recommend full-fat for better flavour and satiety, it’s good to know it still turned out well. Thanks for the tip!

  • 5 stars
    These are awesome,. Many thanks for recipe. I popped them in the toaster and made individual ones using salami tomato slice cheese and Avacado..then melted cheese on top..delicious and easy and quick to make

    • Hi Lillian, thanks so much for sharing—love how you’ve made it your own!

      That combo sounds spot on… simple, tasty and super satisfying. Toasting them is a great touch too.

      Glad you’re enjoying it!
