Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the eggs into two large bowls, keeping the yolks in one and the whites in another.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites with the vinegar or lemon juice and baking powder on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes. The mixture should be glossy and hold its shape when you lift the beaters.
In the other bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cream cheese, and salt until smooth and well blended.
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula and make slow, sweeping motions to avoid deflating the egg whites. The mixture should remain light and fluffy.
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6 equal-sized mounds. Spread each mound out slightly to create the shape of a small bun or slice of bread. Aim for about ½ inch thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are firm to the touch.
Allow the cloud bread to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a toaster or oven.
