Being gluten free, I'm always on the look out for a substitution for bread. I LOVE (or loved!) bread! There is nothing more comforting then the smell of freshly baked bread, slicing through it and watching the steam rise out of it or smothering butter on it and watching it melt. Since becoming gluten free, all I can do is avoid bread reminders at home, drool when I watch the table beside me at a restaurant receive their fresh baked rolls and search of Gluten Free alternatives.
My Mom and Dad are huge supporters of my blog. They read it everyday and always provide me with fresh new ideas. One of my Mom's favourite aspects of my blog is Food Friday. She is also gluten free, so she benefits when I try new gluten free recipes. This week's Food Friday is inspired by a recipe she came across. She shared it with me and I was so fasinated by the idea that I thought I would give it a try.
This weeks Food Friday is
Gluten Free Cloud Bread
Ingredients:
3 eggs (separated)
3 Tbsp of cream cheese or cottage cheese
1gram of sweetener ( I used 1 and 1/2 packages of an 0.8gram sweet n' low)
1/4 tsp Cream of tartar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 F
2. Separate eggs. Put whites in one bowl and yolks in another. Its VERY IMPORTANT to make sure you don't get any yolks in the whites bowl!
3. In the yolk bowl, add cream cheese and sweetener. Mix until creamy.
4. In the egg whites bowl, add cream of tartar. Whip on high speed until soft peaks appear.
5. Gently fold in yolk mixture. Be careful not to loose the peaks.
6. Using a large spoon, scoop mixture on Pam sprayed cooking sheet. They should be egg mcmuffin size.
7. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Watch them because times vary slightly based on size, depth, oven, etc.
8. When they are golden brown, remove from oven and rest on a cooling rack.
9. Let completely cool.
10. Add your favourite toppings and enjoy!
YUM!!
NOTE: If you eat them as soon as they cool they taste like meringue. If you put them in a sealed Tupperware container overnight, they become sticky in texture but more bread like.
