Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ¼ cup (60g) cottage cheese, blended until smooth
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar-free sweetener (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth to avoid lumps.
- Separate the eggs into two clean bowls—egg whites in one, yolks in another.
Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites
- Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
Step 3: Mix the Batter
- In the bowl with the egg yolks, whisk together cottage cheese, salt, and sweetener (if using).
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Step 4: Bake the Cloud Bread
- Spoon small mounds of batter onto the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter version, add vanilla extract and cinnamon.
- For a savory twist, mix in garlic powder, dried herbs, or shredded cheese.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
