Never heard of cloud bread? This magical mixture of egg whites whipped with cream of tartar has the texture of sandwich bread, but without the gluten and carbs—making it a perfect bread substitute for those watching their gluten intake or with dietary restrictions.

Mealthy Tip

Cloud bread is a great option for those looking to increase their daily dose of protein, especially if you're a vegetarian. Since the main ingredients are eggs and cheese, it's high in protein and low in carbohydrates. You can make cloud bread up to one day ahead but it's best eaten within a few hours of baking.

Aja A says:

WOW WOW WOW! This was the epitome of cheesy goodness. It's like a egg souffle cloud meets a Red Lobster biscuit flavor, but gluten free. I could seriously eat this everyday.

Katie Hason says:

This cloud "bread" is addicting! I can't stop eating it! I had never heard of this before and almost didn't believe it until I tried it myself. I'm already looking forward to making it again.

Sam Dalton says:

The name of this recipe is very apropos. One bite of this cloud bread, and I was on cloud 9! The cheese and the cream tartar, combined with the garlic is amazing. I'm greedy, I ate the entire thing by myself. It was just that good!

Alexis Pearson says:

I swear by this recipe! I love the garlic and herb flavors, so I added a little extra. I have only ever used cream of tartar to make cookies, I didn't realize how versatile this ingredient was.

Melissa Hunter says:

The first time I tried this recipe I didn't use cream of tartar which is probably why mine didn't come out right. The second time I did use it and it made a huge difference. The bread turned out light and fluffy. The herbs and butter were the perfect addition, it would not have been as flavorful without it.

Patricia Gebo says:

Great recipe. It was an instant family favorite hit. I added 1/3 of the mozzarella to the yolk mix. Also I just used Italian seasoning mix in the butter. (I didn't have rosemary or thyme.) The kids loved it and there were no leftovers.
