Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

Carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites in 2-3 additions, preserving the airy texture.

Spoon the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, forming 8 equal-round cloud bread buns about 3 inches in diameter.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and slightly firm to the touch. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Once cooled, assemble sandwiches by layering smoked turkey breast, cheddar cheese (if using), tomato slices, and lettuce between two cloud buns.

Serve immediately or wrap tightly for a protein-rich, low-carb meal prep option.
