Cloud bread has the flavor of sandwich bread but without the gluten and the carbs. The secret to the consistency of this light and airy bread is to whip the egg whites into stiff peaks. This easy-to-make bread melts in your mouth with the combination of three different cheeses, including cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and Mozzarella cheese. Garlic powder, oregano, and parsley mix perfectly with the flavor of the cheese. Serve this bread as an appetizer dipped in pizza or pesto sauce. It makes an excellent side dish for spaghetti or a salad. The bread can be made a day ahead.
