CLOUD BREAD® is a trademark and patented recipe owned by 👉🏻NUVOLA ZERO👈🏻 and includes 120 g of eggs, 150 g of spreadable cheese, and 1 g of instant yeast.
The recipe for my Cloud Bread comes from an approach to the ketogenic diet, essentially based on reducing dietary carbohydrates, which leads the body to autonomously produce the glucose necessary for survival and to increase the energy consumption of fats contained in adipose tissue.
An approach I pursued partly out of curiosity and partly because my diet (due to irritable bowel syndrome as you know!) has been oriented towards proteins for years.
In ketogenic diets in general, it is recommended to maintain a carbohydrate intake of 50 g or less per day, ideally organized into 3 portions with 20 g each.
The egg white is a food highly compatible with this type of diet, the proteins in it trigger a strong sense of satiety, and it is the key ingredient of Cloud Bread (cloud bread) to which a small amount of starch is added. It is also suitable for those with celiac disease.
I filled it with avocado cream, scrambled eggs, and bacon, but the fillings are endless. It depends on whether you want to try the cloud bread out of curiosity or whether you want to include it in the context of a ketogenic diet, in which case it must be filled with “allowed” foods. The egg is undoubtedly one of them.

Is milk suitable for a ketogenic diet?
Milk is not ketogenic, and neither is plant-based milk like rice, oat, or millet milk, because they are all low in fats and too high in carbohydrates. Acceptable options are those extracted from oilseeds, such as almond or hazelnut milk, and certainly coconut milk, but without added sugar.
Lactose-free milk has the same amount of carbohydrates as regular milk because it is essentially regular milk with the addition of the lactase enzyme.Are cheeses allowed on the ketogenic diet?
The cheeses to choose for a ketogenic diet are the more aged and fatty ones, as they contain a very low carbohydrate content.
It is better to consider those with less than 3 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams of product, such as:
Brie,
Leerdammer,
Gouda,
Cheddar,
Camembert,
Parmesan,
goat cheese,
Edam,
Fontina,
Gorgonzola,
Gruyère,
Provolone,
Roquefort,
processed cheese slices,
mozzarella.
Without exaggerating, you can also eat fresh cheeses like Greek feta, Philadelphia, cottage cheese, and other creamy cheeses.Are these “Jova’s Eggs”?
The recipe for eggs à la Jovanotti has become popular on social media.
A long-time lover of eggs, the pop star eats them in all styles, even before performing on stage.
The recipe was created years ago by Maria Vittoria Griffoni, known as “cheffa,” Jovanotti’s personal chef.
But they are nothing more than … cloud bread…
