Cloud Bread with Greek Yogurt

This cloud bread with Greek yogurt packs in a little extra protein and is a low-carb, keto-friendly option. 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.

🥚 How to Make Perfect, Fluffy Egg Whites for Cloud Bread

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.

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 minute 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.

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 canned whole chicken salad would be great choices.

You could also use cloud bread as a burger bun if the fillings aren’t too hot. Here’s a super yummy air fryer stuffed burgers stuffed recipe for you.
