4 Ingredient Keto Jalapeno Cheese Bread is a simple, easy, and delicious low carb grain and flour free baked bread bursting with cheesy jalapeno flavor that tastes just like fresh baked bread with only 1 carb per serving for an indulgent bread you can eat on a keto, paleo, or low carb diet!
Cheese bread is not something I take lightly.
I love delicious fresh cheesy bread – with a crunchy crust, light fluffy inside, and tons and tons of flavor.
Cheese bread is one thing that makes me incredibly happy – but since trying to eat low carb with my husband (who is far less tempted by all things bread and sugar than I am), I’ve been majorly missing fresh baked bread and cheese bread.
I tried versions of “cloud bread” – the keto bread made from egg with a variety of fillings and flavors – and for the most part, didn’t love the overly eggy flavor.
Nothing I tried that fit a keto diet tasted more like actual bread to me – and I was a bit discouraged, until I tried adapting a frico recipe with some eggs to make a puffy cheese-based bread that has a bread-like flavor (I love how fricos are literally just cheese but have a cracker-like flavor thanks to the way they are baked, and knew it could work for a bread!).
This Cheddar Jalapeno Bread has no grains, gluten, or other binders in it – just cheese, eggs, and jalapeños – for a decadent and simple low carb cheese bread everyone loves – low carb diet or not!
I find the best keto recipes don’t focus on finding obscure ingredients to fake texture of dishes full of flour and grains – but are ones that taste like the dish you’re trying to make grain-free naturally – like my all time favorite Pizza Chicken (pictured above – a decadent, drool worthy pizza whose “crust” is a pan fried chicken thigh – it is AMAZING!!) or Buttery Crackle Chicken Thighs (a pan fried chicken thigh that tastes crazy rich and indulgent fried chicken – with NO breading!)
This simple, delicious bread is my new favorite recipe – and I know it’s going to be yours, too!

To Make This Easy Keto Jalapeno Cheese Cloud Bread You’ll Need:

-A stirring spoon
-A baking sheet
-Foil, parchment paper, a silicone baking mat, or a perforated bread baking silicone mat.
Tips to Perfect 4 Ingredient Keto Jalapeno Cheese Bread
This gluten and grain free low carb cloud bread is super simple – and can be made either soft and foldable (for a pita, tortilla, or wrap style bread) – OR with a crunchier crust like a fresh baked artisan bread.
The method for each is a little different – and for the slightly crunchy crust you’ll need a special perforated silicone bread baking mat (I use a Silpain mat) to raise your bread up over any excess liquid runoff, giving you a deliciously fresh baked bread crispy crust.
To get perfect soft keto bread for a tortilla or wrap:
- Bake on parchment paper or foil and trim off any egg liquid that runs off from rolls.
- Don’t cook until crunchy browned – bread will be fully cooked, but not crispy on the top.
To get perfect crispy bread, like an artisan roll:
- Use a Silpain mat or similar perforated silicone baking mat over your cookie sheet.
- Any extra egg liquid will drop below the mat, allowing the bread to create a crispier crust that mimics fresh artisan bread.

January 18, 2019 at 7:39 amTYVM. I added (roughly) a couple of Tablespoons each of Lifesource Oat Fiber and unflavored Whey Protein Isolate to give them a more bread-like consistency, and used 1/2 can of drained, diced Hatch mild chilis instead of jalapeños (because that’s what I had in the house). Hubby said it’s a keeper. Much easier than doctoring up a keto bread recipe with cheese and jalapeño. Again, thank you!!

January 18, 2019 at 8:12 amI definitely made this recipe to be a sort of substitute, not an exact replica of bread – I’m so glad you got that and loved the recipe!

June 11, 2018 at 5:21 pmI’m sorry but I don’t see when to add the grated Parmesan cheese or jalapeño peppers? Do you bake the shredded cheese and egg partially or add everything together at once? Thank you.

June 12, 2018 at 7:31 pmRobyn, it all gets mixed at once and placed on the mat. Hope that helps!

May 29, 2018 at 7:29 pmI have made these twice and they are very satisfying as a bread replacement. The second batch I added about 1/3 cup of ground flax seed and wow!! Now they really have a bread/ biscuit texture and tast.

May 23, 2018 at 5:14 pmHi,
Does this bread taste eggy? I’ve tried a few cloud breads and can’t eat them because they taste too eggy to me.
Thanks

I don’t really like the flavor of eggs (I am weird, I know!!!) and this one doesn’t bug me at ALL. I think all the cheese really helps – just be sure to use a cheese whose flavor you really, really like!
