Cloud Bread - Easy, only 3 Ingredients, and extremely low carb!

This is a super interesting recipe that I couldn't even believe when I saw it for the first time. Although this isn't 100% Paleo (dairy from cream cheese), it's still a great low-carb, grain-free and nut-free alternative to regular bread. I'm always looking for bread substitutes (especially ones that are lower in carbohydrates), which seemed nearly impossible until now! This recipe is extremely easy, and yields 6 fluffy buns.

Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F 
  2. Separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls
  3. In the bowl of yolks, add cream cheese and mix until smooth
  4. In the bowl of whites, add tartar and beat with hand mixer until fluffy and peaks form
  5. Add yolk mixture to whites mixture, and begin to fold until fully combined
  6. On a cookie sheet lined with tin foil and based with oil, scoop 6 spoonfuls and form rounds
  7. Place in oven for approx. 30 mins. (or until golden brown)
  8. Remove and let cool, and place in fridge overnight to harden
