Ingredients

3 large separated egg
1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar
2 tablespoons of cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon of salt
¼ cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
½ cup chopped veggies (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms)
¼ cup cooked protein (bacon, ham, or smoked salmon)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or basil)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 °F (163 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl.
Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and whip with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
In another bowl, mix the egg yolks with Greek yogurt (or cream cheese) and salt until smooth.
Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the airiness.
Spoon the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a round, fluffy mound.
Use a spoon to create a small well in the center to hold the omelet toppings.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is light golden brown and firm to the touch.
Carefully remove the cloud bread base from the oven and add your choice of cheese, veggies, and protein.
Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and flavors to blend.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Pair with a side of avocado, fresh salad, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Tips

Whip the egg whites properly. Make sure to beat them until stiff peaks form for the fluffiest texture.
Fold gently. Overmixing will deflate the air in the egg whites, making the omelet dense.
Sprinkle some black pepper, paprika, or chili flakes for an extra kick.
Customize the toppings. Use leftover veggies, smoked salmon, or feta cheese for a Mediterranean twist.
Serve immediately. Cloud bread is best right out of the oven while it's fluffy and warm.

How To Store Leftovers?

While Cloud Bread Omelet is best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftovers properly to maintain their fluffy texture and delicious flavor.

Refrigerator Storage (Best for Short-Term Use)

Let the omelet cool completely before storing to prevent excess moisture buildup.
Place in an airtight container or wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheating Instructions

Oven (Best Method): Preheat the oven to 300 °F (150 °C) and warm for 5 minutes to retain crispness.
Stovetop: Heat in a dry, nonstick pan over low heat for 3-5 minutes.
Microwave (Not Recommended): Can make the omelet soggy, but if needed, reheat in 10-second bursts until warm.

Freezing Storage (Not Recommended)

Due to the airy texture, freezing cloud bread omelets is not ideal, as they tend to become dense and rubbery when thawed.

For the best experience, enjoy your Cloud Bread Omelet fresh and only make as much as you need. If you have leftovers, store them properly and reheat gently to keep them light and fluffy!
