• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

For the Mayo

• 3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
• 2 tbsp ghee
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Make the Cloud Bread

1. Preheat Oven
   • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Whip Egg Whites
   • In a clean mixing bowl, add the 3 egg whites (make sure no yolks are present) and 1/4 tsp cream of tartar.
   • Use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to beat the whites until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Combine Yolks and Cottage Cheese
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3 egg yolks and 3 tbsp full-fat cottage cheese until smooth.
4. Fold Gently
   • Carefully fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites. Do this slowly to avoid deflating the whites.
5. Form and Bake
   • Spoon or pipe the mixture onto the lined baking sheet to form 4-6 round “bread” circles, depending on how large you want them.
   • Bake for 30 minutes or until they are set and lightly golden on top.

2. Make the Mayo

1. Blend Ingredients

   • Blend until completely smooth. Add a little more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

   • Mix in your egg-based mayo a spoonful at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
   • Set aside.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches

1. Toast the Cloud Bread
   • Air fry or broil the cloud bread rounds until they are lightly browned and toasty. This should take just a few minutes.
2. Add Cheese and Tuna
   • Place a slice of cheese on a toasted cloud bread round.
   • Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the cheese.
   • Add the second slice of cheese on top.
3. Melt the Cheese
   • Return the assembled round to the air fryer or oven (set to broil or a high temp) for a few minutes until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
4. Top and Serve
   • Add another piece of toasted cloud bread on top (if desired) or leave it open-faced.
   • Serve immediately.
