It's because I love to eat everything and love this freedom, ^^, but trying new thing is one of the thing that I don't want to miss. When I heard about this bread, "Cloud Bread" I want to try it. It made from egg, cheese and a bit of sugar, so it's very low on carbohydrate and no flour at all. Made by folding egg mixture and cheese together, it will puff up in the oven and become flat when cool. It's a good substitute to bread if you're allergic to gluten or on low crab diet.
I can't say that it's the same as simple bread, it's quite fragile and flat, as it has no gluten to give it a structure, but the only thing that I know is it's delicious!
I use 1/8 tsp of salt for my bread but you can use less or skip it too, if you want to use with sweeter filling. It's very easy to make if you can make meringue, just folding it gently to keep all the air and you will be fine.

Do we need cream of tartar? Or can I just use the sugar to stabilize the egg whites?
