Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 4 slices Mozzarella slices
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Oregano (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and the yolks in a medium bowl.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, using a hand mixer.
In the medium bowl with the egg yolks, add the cream cheese and baking powder. Mix until smooth.
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites, maintaining as much air in the mixture as possible to keep it light and fluffy.
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 4 round circles.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool for 5 minutes before using them as sandwich bread.
While the cloud bread is baking, slice the tomato into thick slices and season with salt, black pepper, and oregano.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tomato slices and cook for 2 minutes on each side to enhance their flavor.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place 1 slice of mozzarella on each piece of cloud bread, followed by 2 basil leaves, a slice of cooked tomato, and another mozzarella slice.
Top each with another cloud bread to form a sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, cheesy Keto Mozzarella Sandwich!
