Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature, whites and yolks separated
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¼ cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300˚F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In your mixer’s bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar and whisk on High speed until firm peaks form. Transfer the whipped egg whites to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Clean your mixer’s bowl and wipe it dry.
  • Add sour cream to the mixer’s bowl and beat for 10 seconds. Add egg yolks, one by one, and continue to beat on High until mixture is creamy. Stop and scrape down the bowl as you mix.
  • Add basil, oregano, and salt; beat until incorporated.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Fold until thoroughly combined. Go slow so you don’t deflate the egg whites.
  • Spoon about ⅓ cup mounds of the egg mixture onto the lined baking sheets, two inches apart, and spread each portion into a 3 to 4-inch disc.
  • Bake for 28 to 30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  • Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve.

Notes

 
  • Start with eggs at room temperature to ensure the whites whip up to their fullest.
  • Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until firm peaks form - this helps the bread bake properly.
  • Carefully and gently mix the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture to retain the mixture's quality, the key to cloud bread's characteristic light texture.
  • You can use the seasonings suggested in the recipe or any other seasonings and dried herbs you have on hand.
  • I like this recipe with sour cream, but you can also use about 2 ounces of (room temperature) cream cheese.
  • Use a separate bowl or a clean bowl to whip the sour cream, egg yolks, and seasonings until smooth.
