Description
At its core, a Cloud Bread Breakfast Sandwich Bun is a grain-free, high-protein alternative to traditional bread. Unlike sourdough or whole wheat loaves that rely on yeast and gluten for structure, this bun relies on the biological power of aerated egg whites. When you whip egg whites to a specific consistency, they trap tiny air bubbles that expand during the baking process, creating a foam-like structure that sets into a soft, bread-like disk.
Ingredients
3 large eggs, separated
3 tbsp cream cheese, softened
(or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)¼ tsp cream of tartar (optional but helps stability)
¼ tsp salt
Optional flavor add-ins:
½ tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp grated Parmesan (great for savory sandwiches)
