Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar at medium speed for 1-2 minutes until they form medium peaks.
3
In another bowl, mix the egg yolks, cream cheese, and artificial sweetener until the mixture is completely smooth.
4
Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it, and then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until well incorporated.
5
Spoon dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into 4-inch wide circles that are about 1/2-inch thick.
6
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cloud breads are golden brown. Allow them to cool for at least 1 hour.
7
To poach the eggs, fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a simmer. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully drop an egg into the center. Cook for about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
8
For the hollandaise sauce, combine the egg yolks, cayenne, mustard, and lemon juice in a blender. While blending on low, slowly add the melted butter in a steady stream to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9
To assemble your Eggs Benedict, place two cloud breads on each plate, layer with a slice of Canadian bacon, top with a poached egg, and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately and enjoy your fluffy creation!
