Ingredients
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 pieces Optional: Cooked bacon or sausage patty
- 0.5 pieces Optional: sliced avocado
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Separate the eggs. Place the egg whites in one large bowl and the egg yolks in another.
Step 3
Add the cream cheese and baking powder to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the whites, trying to keep as much air in the whites as possible.
Step 6
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form six equal-sized circles, resembling buns.
Step 7
Bake the cloud bread in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
Step 8
While the cloud bread is baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Step 9
Whisk the remaining egg, season with salt and pepper, then pour it into the skillet. Add shredded cheese on one side, let the eggs set slightly, then fold it over into an omelet.
Step 10
Cook the omelet until the cheese melts completely and the egg is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 11
Assemble the sandwich: Place the cheese omelet between two cloud breads. Add optional slices of cooked bacon, sausage patty, or avocado for extra flavor.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, low-carb breakfast sandwich!
