Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs (separated)
  • ½ cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (to stabilize egg whites)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, for structure)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of sweetener (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

Optional Substitutions

  • Instead of cottage cheese, you can use ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with plant-based cream cheese.
  • If you’re avoiding cornstarch, simply leave it out, but note that it helps give the bread more structure.

Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Separate the egg whites and yolks into two different bowls.

Step2: Whip the Egg Whites

  • Add cream of tartar to the egg whites.
  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for achieving a light and airy texture.

Step3: Mix the Yolks and Cottage Cheese

  • In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the blended cottage cheese, salt, cornstarch (if using), and honey or sweetener (if using).
  • Mix until smooth and fully combined.

Step4: Combine the Mixtures

  • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk and cottage cheese mixture in three parts.
  • Use a spatula to fold carefully, ensuring that as much air as possible is retained for a fluffy texture.

Step5: Shape the Cloud Bread

  • Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 small rounds or larger pieces, depending on your preference.
  • Use the back of a spoon to shape them evenly.

Step6: Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and set.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cloud bread cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use Room-Temperature Eggs – They whip better and create more volume.
  • Don’t Overfold – Overmixing can deflate the airiness. Fold just until combined.
  • Bake Immediately – The batter will lose volume if it sits too long.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients – Fresh cottage cheese and eggs ensure the best flavor and texture.
