Why This Works
This recipe works because it’s incredibly simple, uses minimal ingredients, and delivers maximum flavor and texture. The result is a light, airy cloud bread that’s practically guilt-free and satisfies that carb craving without the carb-heavy consequences.

Key Ingredients
- 🥚 3 large eggs
- 🧀 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 🥛 1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 🫙 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
2️⃣ In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. This is super important for getting that fluffy texture!
3️⃣ Add the softened cream cheese and beat until well combined. If your cream cheese is a little too firm, microwave it for a few seconds to soften it up.
4️⃣ Stir in the almond milk, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Don’t overmix – a few lumps are okay! Overmixing can lead to tough bread.
5️⃣ Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cloud bread.
6️⃣ Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cloud bread is lightly golden brown and puffed up.
7️⃣ Let the cloud bread cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Handy Tips
- Room temperature eggs beat up easier and create a lighter texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter! A few lumps are okay and won’t affect the final product.
- If you want even fluffier clouds, let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes before baking. This allows the baking powder to activate fully.
Heat Control
Baking at 300°F (150°C) ensures the cloud bread bakes evenly and thoroughly without browning too quickly. A lower temperature gives the baking powder the time it needs to work its magic, creating those amazing airy pockets.
Crunch Factor
While the inside of the cloud bread is soft and fluffy, the outside develops a slightly crisp edge during baking, adding a lovely textural contrast.
Pro Kitchen Tricks
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of your favorite herbs or spices to the batter.
- Use different types of milk for variations in flavor; coconut milk adds a subtle sweetness.
- Make mini cloud breads using a tablespoon to create bite-sized snacks.
Storage Tips
Store leftover cloud bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage – just thaw them at room temperature before enjoying.
Gift Packaging Ideas
These make a great little gift! Package them in a pretty box or basket, perhaps alongside some keto-friendly jam or savory toppings.

🌟 Savory Herb Cloud Bread: Add 1 teaspoon of dried Italian herbs to the batter.
🌟 Cheesy Cloud Bread: Stir in 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
