INSTRUCTION:
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Begin separating 3 eggs into two clean, dry bowls.
Step 2:
Add cream of tartar and salt to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until soft, foamy peaks form.
Step 3:
In the other bowl, combine 3 oz. of cubed cream cheese with the egg yolks and beat until a pale yellow color.
Step 4:
Gently fold the egg whites into the yolks, half at a time.
Step 5:
On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spoon about 1/4 cup of the keto cloud bread batter. This recipe makes 6 large keto cloud breads.
Step 6:
Using a spatula, press gently on the tops of the keto cloud bread to form squares. Sprinkle the tops with garlic powder and bake for about 25 minutes.
Step 7:
While the keto cloud bread is baking, cook the chicken and bacon with some salt and pepper.
Step 8:
To arrange the sandwich, combine mayo and sriracha, then spread that onto the underside of one keto cloud bread. Add your chicken onto the mayo mixture.
Step 9:
Add 2 slices of pepper jack cheese and the bacon, nestle some halved grape tomatoes, and spread mashed avocado on top. Season to taste, and top with the other keto cloud bread.
