Ingredients

Cloud Bread

3 large eggs, separated (yolks and whites)
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon salt

Tuna Salad

1 can tuna in water, drained 5 ounces or 142g
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Begin by making the cloud bread. In a large bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese, and salt until smooth.
Gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites, being careful not to deflate the whites.
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 4 even rounds. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the cloud bread is baking, prepare the tuna salad by mixing together drained tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Once the cloud bread is done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Top two cloud bread slices with an even amount of tuna salad, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and cover with the remaining cloud bread slices.
Place the tuna melts back in the oven, or under the broiler, for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey.

Notes

For a crispy edge on your cloud bread, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. You can also add a sprinkle of paprika or your favorite herbs to the tuna salad for extra flavor. Store any leftover cloud bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
