Make your next school lunch gluten-free with this light and fluffy everything bagel cloud bread sandwich!

Below you’ll learn my best tips to keep this cloud bread sandwich fresh, intact, and totally delicious until lunchtime!

Everything Bagel Cloud Bread Sandwich

Low carb can still pack serious power! My daughter asked for a carb-conscious filling school lunch and BOY, does this everything bagel cloud bread sandwich deliver! It’s light, tasty, and gives her the energy to crush her to-do list—from math to after school sports.

This bagel is also perfect for kids with a sensitivity to gluten but still love that fluffy bread texture. And for more great traditional sandwich swaps that are light on carbs but big on energy, try these turkey lettuce wraps and cheesy spinach egg cups!

What You Need

Cloud bread makes this sandwich special: it’s naturally gluten-free and super soft! Here’s what you’ll need to turn it into a stellar low-carb lunch:

  • Lettuce or sprouts: add crunch and freshness with lettuce, sprouts, or spinach.
  • Mayonnaise: adds moisture and creaminess; if your kids aren’t fans, try cream cheese or hummus for a different twist.
  • Cloud bread: you can make it yourself, find it in specialty stores or use other low-carb bread options.
  • Ham: swap it out for turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based alternative if preferred.
  • Cheese: mild and creamy, provolone pairs perfectly with ham; or choose your favorite cheese.

How to Make a Cloud Bread Sandwich for School

This sandwich comes together in minutes, making it perfect for those crazy busy mornings. Simple, quick, and satisfying.

  1. Spread mayo
    Spread mayo on both pieces of cloud bread. This not only adds flavor but also acts as a barrier to keep the bread from getting soggy.
  2. Layer the ingredients
    Place the lettuce first and then layer the ham and cheese between the slices, pressing gently to hold everything together.
  3. Pack for school
    Place your cloud bread sandwich inside a hard lunch container, packing any lunch sides separately. Keep refrigerated if making ahead of time.

Keeping Sandwiches Fresh for School Lunches

Keeping this cloud-like sandwich intact and appetizing until lunchtime is key. These tips will help ensure success:

Choose the right container
Use a hard-sided lunch container to prevent the bread from getting squished, and ensure the sandwich fits snugly into the container.

Layer strategically
Use crisp lettuce or layer a slice of cheese next to the bread to act as a moisture barrier and prevent the ham from making the cloud bread soggy.

Use parchment
If the cloud bread is extra fluffy, wrap it in parchment paper to help it hold its shape before placing it in the container.

Keep it cool
Include an ice pack in the lunch bag to keep the ingredients cool and safe to eat.

    Hello, I did not see in your recipe why you use cream of tartare?

    Do you shape them into bagels before you bake them? Never made them before and I’m concerned about handling them too much. Thanks so much. This sounds delicious and my daughter likes gluten free and low carb. So I’m anxious to try them.

        If you watch the video, I do not suggest freezing these. They lose their texture.

    GAME CHANGER- these are absolutely delicious, and incredibly lightweight! I now understand why they’re called “cloud bread!” I put cream cheese and bacon inside, and they were amazing!
