Mealthy Tip: Cloud bread is a great option for those looking to increase their daily dose of protein, especially if you're a vegetarian. Since the main ingredients are eggs and cheese, it's high in protein and low in carbohydrates. You can make cloud bread up to one day ahead but it's best eaten within a few hours of baking.
