Bread is the bane of my existence. Bittersweet. I have always considered a slice of toast, chunk of fresh baguette, a bagel with cream cheese, etc, to be a perfectly acceptable meal. But it is not and since I started my WLS journey bread has not even been in my house.

That doesn't mean I haven't craved it, hunted the internet for a reasonable substitute or sifted through hundreds of "bread" recipes on Pinterest.

Then I came across a post on another forum where a member was RAVING about a recipe for "cloud bread." She said it was awesome, amazing and we should all give it a try.

And I did. And it was amazing. I had chicken salad on a couple of "slices" and it felt like be reunited with a long lost friend.

Here is the recipe, try it, you won't regret it..

CLOUD BREAD

2 eggs Separated

2 oz Cream Cheese

1/8 tsp cream of tartar

Preheat oven to 300′.

Separate eggs. Whites in one bowl, yolks in another.

Add cream cheese to yolks and mix until smooth. In the other bowl add cream of tartar to whites, and beat with hand mixer on high until fluffy and peaks form.

Carefully add the yolk mixture to the white mixture and fold to combine

tupperware overnight. Like Magic they turn into “buns”.

Enjoy!

I have seen this, but have never tried it. You talked me into it! One question...did you use full-fat or reduced fat cream cheese? Thanks for the recipe!

FYI, not bad, 85 calories, 7 g of fat, 4 g of Protein, 1 g of carbs.

I think they are also known as "Oopsie" rolls. Thanks for the great directions I may give it a try too.

I have used both. The first time all I had on hand was full-fat and they turned out wonderful, the recipe listed is I believe for reduced.

I have also added "mix-ins" because they are pretty bland without having anything added to the recipe. I have made sweet(er) versions where I added liquid Splenda or savory ones with a pinch of black pepper, garlic salt and sea salt. The sweet ones are great toasted with a smear of sugar free preserves. Yum!

The recipe I use calls for 3 eggs and 1.5 ounces of full-fat cream cheese. I love, love, love it! I made a batch with some pumpkin pie spice and a tablespoon of sweetener added. Yum!

Omg that looks delicious I cannot wait to make this!!! Yummm

Cool I have been craving bread will try this soon. .thanks for sharing. .

@Ashlegal. Just curious, and off topic, but I can't resist asking......you had your surgery last month and is able to eat sandwich in the picture? Thanks for sharing the recipe.

No, no, no..that isn't my sandwich. I just wanted to give a visual of the end product. I did have a sliced chicken breast, spicy mustard and Havarti cheese sandwich this afternoon. I was only able to eat half and used the "cloud" bread as the bun.

I had surgery seven weeks ago and was never required a pureed food stage. By day ten I was allowed soft Proteins and by my first month was eating well cooking veggies, canned fruits, juicy pork loin, moist chicken, tender turkey, shrimp, baked flaky fish and of course the usual cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese sticks, lean deli meats.

@Ashlegal. Thanks for responding. I was just amazed if you were actually able to eat that much! I will be trying recipe this weekend. I also am a bread lover, and miss a toasted bagel with cream cheese on a Saturday morning.

I make them with reduced fat cream cheese. Also, have made them sweet with artificial sweetener, or more savoury with herbs, onion powder, paprika etc (just depends on what I'm in the mood for). My hubby has taken a liking to them too, and will chuck them in the toaster. I like them for my mini burgers. It's nice to have the option.

Looks tasty!

I wonder if you could make this with blueberries? Like a blueberry muffin? Anyone try it before?

To anyone who has made this "bread" - does it freeze well???

I am sure you can modify just about anything. Use fresh berries as they are low on the glycemic index. Splenda or stevia.

Also you could even try cinnamon and Splenda brown sugar.

It would be endless possibilities for creativity

Add fresh finely chopped veggies, and seasoning .....

So many ideas
