Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Deli ham
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 large Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 sliced Avocado (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the eggs. In one bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the cream cheese until smooth. In another bowl, combine the egg whites with the baking powder and beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Spoon the mixture into six even mounds on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each with the back of the spoon to form rounds.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cloud breads are golden and set. Remove and let cool.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Crack the remaining two eggs into the skillet and fry until desired doneness. Season with salt and black pepper.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread mayonnaise on the underside of four pieces of cloud bread.
Layer each smeared slice with a slice of cheese, a slice of ham, a fried egg, and a piece of lettuce. Add avocado slices if using.
Top each with the remaining cloud bread pieces to form two sandwiches.
Serve immediately, enjoying your low-carb creation!
