Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated (yolks and whites)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth (this is key for the perfect texture!)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (this helps stabilize the egg whites)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for flavor)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, but it adds a little structure)
- 1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of sweetener (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites and yolks into two different bowls. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Add the 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.
- 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.
- Fold in the Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk and cottage cheese mixture in thirds to maintain fluffiness.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in 6-8 rounds. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and set.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cloud bread cool completely on the baking sheet before serving to maintain its shape.
Notes
- For best texture, make sure to blend the cottage cheese until smooth before using.
- Optional: You can skip the sweetener for a more savory version, perfect for sandwiches or as a side to soups.
