Cloud Bread Breakfast Sandwich

This cloud bread breakfast sandwich is my answer to busy mornings when I crave something light yet filling. Inspired by the TikTok cloud bread trend, it offers an airy gluten-free alternative to traditional sandwich bread, layered with creamy scrambled eggs and gooey cheese for a high-protein breakfast that never feels heavy.

I was first hooked after making these on a lazy Saturday. My partner and I both went back for seconds and now it is in regular breakfast rotation whenever we want something a bit extra special but still effortless.

Ingredients

• Eggs: fresh large ones create maximum fluff for the cloud bread and super tender scrambled eggs
• Cream cheese: soft and tangy helps cloud bread bake up tender and light
• Cream of tartar: this little touch stabilizes the egg whites for perfect billowy loaves
• Salt: just enough to enhance flavor both in bread and filling
• Cheddar cheese: or preferred favorite quality cheese melts beautifully and adds savory oomph
• Milk: whisked into eggs makes them ultra creamy
• Butter: for scrambling eggs gives rich flavor and prevents sticking
• Turkey bacon: or vegetarian alternative brings smokiness without loads of grease
• Fresh herbs: chives or parsley optional but so good for a burst of flavor and color

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Oven and Sheet:

Set oven to three hundred degrees Fahrenheit or one hundred fifty degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up and to prevent sticking

Whip Egg Whites:

In a clean mixing bowl beat the egg whites with cream of tartar and salt using an electric mixer Start on medium and increase speed until you get stiff glossy peaks This process gives the cloud bread its magical airy texture

Mix Yolk Base:

In another bowl blend the egg yolks with softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy There should be no lumps for best results

Fold the Mixtures:

Very gently fold the creamy yolk mixture into the whipped whites Using a spatula and a slow hand keeps everything fluffy and prevents deflation

Shape and Bake:

Divide the cloud bread mixture into four even rounds on the prepared pan Space them apart so they do not spread together Bake for twenty minutes until golden puffed and slightly firm Let them cool briefly on the tray

Make Scrambled Eggs:

While the cloud bread bakes whisk two eggs with milk and a pinch of salt and pepper Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat Pour in eggs and cook gently stirring often until just set but not dry Soft scrambled eggs will give you the best sandwich filling

Assemble the Sandwich:

Place one cloud bread round on your plate Top with hot scrambled eggs a slice of cheese and turkey bacon if using Close with a second round and add fresh herbs if you like

Enjoy your sandwich warm The melty cheese and warm eggs are especially tasty right out of the pan
