Let’s make breakfast the best meal again.

1. Cloud Bread Breakfast Sandwiches That Practically Float

Overhead shot of a keto cloud bread breakfast sandwich on a matte slate plate: two golden, airy cloud bread rounds made from whipped egg whites, cream cheese, and cream of tartar, sandwiching a crispy sugar-free bacon strip, a runny-yolk fried egg, and a melty slice of cheddar; sprinkle of sea salt visible on the cloud bread surface; styled on a cool gray linen with a small dish of sea salt and a whisked egg white foam bowl in the background; soft morning light, shallow depth, crisp textures emphasized.

Think of this as your breakfast sandwich, but lighter, fluffier, and totally keto. Cloud bread is pillowy, grain-free, and ridiculously versatile. Pop in crispy bacon, melty cheese, and a fried egg, and you’ve got a dreamy stack that fuels you without the carb crash.

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tbsp full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 slices sugar-free bacon, cooked
  • 1 large egg (for frying)
  • 1 slice cheddar or provolone
  • 1 tsp butter or ghee (for frying)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Whisk egg yolks with cream cheese and salt until smooth.
  3. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar to stiff peaks.
  4. Gently fold whites into yolk mixture in 3 additions—don’t deflate.
  5. Spoon 4 to 6 mounds onto the sheet and bake 20–25 minutes until golden and set. Cool briefly.
  6. Fry the remaining egg in butter until edges crisp; add cheese on top to melt.
  7. Assemble: cloud bread + bacon + cheesy egg + cloud bread. Devour warm.

Pro tip: Add a swipe of sugar-free sriracha mayo or mashed avocado. Make extra cloud breads and freeze—toast straight from the freezer for a 2-minute breakfast.
