Carnivore Cloud Bread

Introduction
Carnivore cloud bread is a light, fluffy, and protein-rich bread alternative that’s perfect for anyone following a low-carb, keto, or carnivore diet. Unlike traditional bread, this recipe doesn’t use flour or grains—making it a guilt-free way to enjoy “bread” without the carbs.
This bread is made mainly from eggs and dairy, giving it a soft, airy texture that almost melts in your mouth. It’s versatile too—you can use it as a sandwich bun, a pizza base, or even enjoy it plain as a quick snack.
If you’ve been missing bread while sticking to a carnivore or keto lifestyle, this recipe is a game-changer. With minimal ingredients and simple steps, you can whip up a batch in under an hour.
Cooking Time & Serving
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cook time: 25 minutes
- Total time: 35 minutes
- Servings: Makes 6–8 pieces
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 3 oz (85 g) cream cheese or mascarpone (softened)
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (for stability)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Optional for extra flavor (not strict carnivore):
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder or onion powder
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
How to Make Carnivore Cloud Bread
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the eggs carefully—place the whites in a large mixing bowl and the yolks in another bowl.
- Whip the egg whites: Add cream of tartar and a pinch of salt to the whites. Beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form (the mixture should be fluffy and stand on its own).
- Mix the yolks: Combine the egg yolks with softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Fold together: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped whites. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
- Scoop onto baking sheet: Spoon 6–8 round portions onto the parchment paper, smoothing lightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool before serving. The bread will firm up more as it cools.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Toasting before serving makes it crispier.
- You can make it strict carnivore by skipping any seasonings or cheese variations.
- For extra sturdiness (sandwich-style), bake slightly larger rounds.
FAQs
Q: Is carnivore cloud bread keto-friendly?
Yes! It’s extremely low-carb and fits perfectly into keto and carnivore diets.
Q: Can I use cottage cheese instead of cream cheese?
Yes, but blend it smooth before mixing with the yolks for best texture.
Q: Why did my cloud bread collapse?
This usually happens if the egg whites weren’t whipped enough, or if the mixture was over-mixed when folding.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes—use only eggs and skip the cream cheese, though the texture will be slightly less creamy.
