The Best No-Carb Cloud Bread with Only 4 Ingredients


Ridiculous Amount of Ingredients:
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 3 Tablespoons cream cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder (or cream of tartar)
  • These ingredients are optional and highly recommended: 1 TBS Brown Sugar (or honey, or your favorite natural sweetener) I like to use Coconut Palm Sugar because it is low glycemic and adds a subtle sweetness to my baking and is perfect for coffee or tea) Also optional are salt, garlic powder, rosemary and other fave spices/herbs
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius)
  • Separate the eggs, there must be no yolk in the white.
  • In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese and honey until smooth.
  • In the second bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder (or cream of tartar if you prefer, I just didn’t like the taste of cream of tartar) to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy, form a nice peaks and hold their peaks. It should look something like this:(Update 1) Please read carefully, because I received a handful of comments that the “breads” didn’t come out right from the first try. As you read through directions, you need to remember that the KEY to success to this recipe is you need to fluff up your egg whites to stiff peaks. It takes about 5 minutes using electric hand mixer. The one that I use is Hamilton Beach . If you look at different options try to get the one that looks like an iron. It has a storage compartment that serves as a storage for mixer’s tools and a stand.
Slowly fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites and mix carefully and slowly – you don’t want to break the fluffiness of the egg whites and the overall mixture too much. 

Do the following as quickly as possible or the mixture may start melting: Spoon the mixture into 10-12 even rounds onto lightly greased baking sheet, sprinkle w/ rosemary and your favorite spices and put it in the oven.

Bake for 17-20 minutes on the middle rack. Then broil (cook the top) for 1 minute and watch it until they become nice and golden brown. At this point make sure you watch them so they don’t burn

Ingredients
4 ounces plain pork rinds, crushed (113 g)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt optional
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (113 g)
6 large eggs*** see note
3/4 cup water (117.44 ml/ 170 g)

Instructions
Food Processor Method: Place the pork rinds in a food processor and process until they become a fine powder. Add the baking soda and salt and give it a little pulse to mix. Add the eggs and cheese and process until smooth and thick. Add the water and blend until all of the ingredients are completely incorporated. Pour into a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.

Hand Mixer Method: Put the pork rinds into a large zip-loc bag and crush in batches with a rolling pin or the smooth side of a meat mallet. They should be completely pulverized into a powder.
Place the pulverized pork rinds into a medium bowl and stir in the baking soda and salt.
In a smaller bowl, blend the cream cheese with one egg until combined and smooth. Add another egg and mix. Add the egg and cheese mixture to the pork rind crumbs and add the rest of the eggs. Blend with the hand mixer until smooth.
Add the water and mix until thoroughly combined. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
Preheat a pancake griddle over medium heat. When hot, oil the griddle and then gently wipe-off the excess with a paper towel.

Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour the batter onto the skillet and spread into a 5 inch circle with the back of a spoon. Make it as thin as possible. I dip my spoon in water to prevent it from sticking to the batter. Cook like you would a pancake.

Recipe Notes
Make sure to spread the batter with a wet spoon or you will end up with a thick pancake that will not serve well as a wrap. Thin the batter with a little more water if you notice it getting a little too thick to spread easily.

**** I'm often asked how these wraps taste. I use plain pork rinds and think these wraps are very neutral in taste.


***If this recipe is too eggy for you the first time you make it, try using 3 whole eggs, 3 egg whites and 3 tablespoons of oil.


No, this recipe can not be made without the pork rinds. That's like making a bread recipe and then removing the flour. Try these alternative wraps, zucchini tortillas, and this savory crepe recipe.
