Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 66 gram Egg white in addition to the egg
- 40 gram Greek Yogurt Non-Fat Plain
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan Gum Optional
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt 1 gram
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Separate the egg yolk from the white. Place the egg white in a clean, dry mixing bowl and the yolk in a separate mixing bowl.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl with the egg yolks. If desired, add any sweetener, vanilla extract, salt, herbs, or spices for flavoring. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- In the bowl with the egg whites, add baking powder and xanthan gum. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take a few minutes. You can tell it is done when you can turn the bowl upside down without the batter spilling.
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much.
- Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming rounds or any desired shapes.
- Try to make them all the same size and thickness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown and set. The tops should be firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
