What Makes This Special

Cloud bread is the star here. It’s airy, gluten-free, and made with just a few everyday ingredients.

You still get that sandwich experience, without the carb crash. The filling keeps things satisfying. A savory sausage patty and a soft, buttery egg feel like a treat, yet stay totally in line with your keto goals.

It’s versatile, too—add cheese, herbs, or avocado and make it your own. This sandwich also works for busy mornings. You can bake cloud bread ahead of time, cook the sausage in batches, and assemble in minutes.

It’s comfort food that supports your lifestyle, not the other way around.

What You’ll Need

  • Cloud bread:
    • 3 large eggs, separated
    • 3 tablespoons softened cream cheese (or 3 tablespoons mascarpone)
    • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (helps stabilize the whites)
    • Pinch of salt
  • Sausage and egg:
    • 2 breakfast sausage patties (look for no-sugar-added, about 2–3 ounces each)
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tablespoon butter or avocado oil
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional add-ons:
    • 1–2 slices cheddar, provolone, or Swiss
    • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or sugar-free aioli
    • 1–2 leaves of butter lettuce
    • 2–4 avocado slices
    • Chives or parsley for garnish
  • Equipment:
    • Mixing bowls
    • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
    • Spatula
    • Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
    • Skillet

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep. Set your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Separate the eggs carefully—no yolk in the whites or they won’t whip properly.
  2. Make the cloud bread base. In one bowl, whisk the yolks with cream cheese and a pinch of salt until smooth.

    In another bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar to stiff peaks. The whites should hold their shape when you lift the beaters.

  3. Fold gently. Add one-third of the whites to the yolk mixture and fold to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining whites just until combined.

    Don’t overmix or you’ll deflate the batter.

  4. Shape and bake. Spoon the mixture into 4–6 rounds on the baking sheet, about 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes so they firm up.
  5. Cook the sausage. While the cloud bread bakes, cook the sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat, about 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.

    Set aside on a plate.

  6. Make the eggs. Add butter to the skillet. Crack in the eggs and cook them your way—over easy, over medium, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper.

    For a neater sandwich, you can cook the eggs inside a greased round mold.

  7. Optional: Add cheese. If using cheese, place a slice over each sausage patty and let it melt briefly in the warm pan or under a quick broil.
  8. Assemble. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or aioli on one side of two cloud bread rounds if you like. Layer sausage, egg, and any extras like avocado or lettuce. Top with another cloud bread round.
  9. Serve. Enjoy immediately while warm.

    The bread is delicate, so handle with care.

How to Store

  • Cloud bread: Cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, with parchment between pieces to prevent sticking. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month and thaw at room temperature.
  • Sausage: Cook patties ahead and refrigerate for 3–4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

    Reheat in a skillet for best texture.

  • Assembled sandwiches: Best eaten fresh. If prepping for later, store components separately to keep the cloud bread from getting soggy.

Why This is Good for You

  • Low in carbs, high in satisfaction: Cloud bread cuts out flour and sugar while keeping the sandwich experience you crave.
  • Protein-forward: Sausage and eggs deliver steady energy and help keep you full, which supports appetite control.
  • Healthy fats: Butter, avocado oil, and optional avocado or cheese provide fats that fit a keto approach and boost flavor.
  • Gluten-free and grain-free: A great option for those avoiding grains without feeling deprived.

What Not to Do

  • Don’t let yolk get into your whites. Even a little fat will prevent stiff peaks and lead to flat cloud bread.
  • Don’t overmix the batter. Vigorous stirring deflates the whites. Fold gently until just combined.
  • Don’t bake at too high a temperature. High heat can brown the tops quickly but leave the inside too soft.

    Stick to moderate heat.

  • Don’t stack while hot. Let cloud bread cool slightly or steam will make it limp.
  • Don’t use sweetened sausage. Check labels for added sugar or fillers that raise carbs.

Variations You Can Try

  • Cheesy cloud bread: Fold in 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan to the yolk mixture for a savory edge.
  • Herb and garlic: Add 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon chopped chives or parsley to the batter.
  • Spicy breakfast: Use hot Italian sausage or chorizo and finish with a dash of hot sauce or chipotle mayo.
  • Green machine: Layer on sliced avocado and baby spinach for extra fat and freshness.
  • Make it meat-free: Swap sausage for a seasoned egg patty or a keto-friendly veggie patty with no breadcrumbs.
  • Mini sliders: Form smaller cloud bread rounds and sausage sliders for a brunch platter.

Can I make the cloud bread the night before?

Yes. Bake, cool, and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently in a low oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to restore the texture.

What’s the best way to reheat without drying it out?

Use a toaster oven at 275–300°F for 3–5 minutes.

For sausage, a quick reheat in a skillet keeps it juicy. Avoid microwaving the cloud bread for too long, as it can turn rubbery.

Can I skip the cream of tartar?

You can, but the whites may not stabilize as well. A small squeeze of lemon juice is a decent substitute, though cream of tartar works best.

Is there a dairy-free option?

Use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative for the cloud bread and cook with oil instead of butter.

Choose dairy-free toppings and skip the cheese.

How many carbs are in this?

Exact numbers depend on your brands and add-ons. As a guideline, two cloud bread rounds with a sausage patty and egg typically land around 3–5 net carbs, assuming no added sugars in the sausage.

Can I make the eggs in advance?

Yes, but they taste best fresh. If meal prepping, cook them slightly under your ideal doneness, then reheat gently in the skillet when assembling.

Wrapping Up

This Keto Sausage & Egg Cloud Bread Sandwich gives you everything you want from a breakfast sandwich—comfort, flavor, and staying power—without the carbs.

It’s easy to make, easy to customize, and perfect for both lazy mornings and busy weekdays. Keep a batch of cloud bread and cooked sausage on hand, and breakfast is sorted. Simple ingredients, big payoff.
