Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Dairy
- 3 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- ½ tsp salt
Flavorings and Toppings
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cloud bread.
- Beat Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Using a mixer, beat until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy foam.
- Mix Egg Yolks and Ingredients: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cornstarch, salt, and honey until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula. Fold carefully to keep the batter light and airy without deflating the whites.
- Form and Top: Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into cloud-like mounds. Sprinkle fresh blueberries on top gently.
- Bake Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden and set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer the cloud bread to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally spreading some butter on top.
Notes
- This bread is naturally gluten-free and low in carbohydrates, perfect for low-carb diets.
- Be gentle when folding the mixtures to maintain the airy texture.
- You can substitute the blueberries with other fresh berries or omit them for a plain version.
- Use a blender or food processor to achieve a smooth cottage cheese texture before mixing.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
