Category: Breads

cooking spray
3 large eggs
3 Tbsp low fat cream cheese½ tsp baking powder
½ Tbsp garlic powder
½ Tbsp dried oregano
2 Tbsp butter
12 oz mozzarella cheese, part skim, cut into 12 even slices
6 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
6 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped


1. Place oven rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 300°F. Cover a large sheet pan with parchment paper; lightly coat with cooking spray.
2. Separate egg yolks from whites; place each in separate mixing bowls. Whisk cream cheese into bowl with yolks until smooth (add optional fresh or dried herbs). Add baking powder to bowl with whites; beat on high speed with an electric mixer until fluffy and soft peaks form. Slowly and gently fold egg yolk mixture into egg white mixture. Spoon mixture into 12 even rounds onto prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, 18-20 minutes; remove from oven.
3. Meanwhile, prepare garlic mixture. Melt butter in microwave or in a small saucepan; stir in garlic powder and oregano.
4. Evenly divide butter mixture over each cooked cloud bread; top each with 1 oz mozzarella cheese. Broil until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes; garnish each with 1/2 Tbsp Parmesan and parsley.
