Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
Cottage Cheese Mixture
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
Topping
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Beat Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place the egg whites into a large bowl. Add the cream of tartar and beat vigorously until stiff peaks form, creating a light, airy foam.
- Mix Egg Yolks and Cottage Cheese: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cornstarch, salt, and honey until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk and cottage cheese mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula, taking care not to overmix to maintain the light texture.
- Shape Cloud Breads: Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet forming individual cloud-shaped rounds. Top each with fresh blueberries evenly distributed on top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the bread clouds turn golden and are set through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cloud bread to cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm and optionally spread with butter.
Notes
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute cottage cheese with blended silken tofu and omit honey for vegan options.
- Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for the cloud bread’s characteristic light and airy texture.
- Use fresh blueberries for topping; frozen blueberries may release extra moisture and affect baking.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor, adding a spread like butter or cream cheese if desired.
- This bread is naturally gluten-free and low in carbs, making it a great choice for special diets.
