Ingredients
For the Cloud Bread:
- 3 large eggs, separated – Creates the fluffy structure.
- ½ cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth – Adds creaminess and protein.
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar – Stabilizes the egg whites for extra fluffiness.
- ½ teaspoon salt – Enhances the flavor.
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional) – Adds structure and stability.
- 1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of sweetener (optional) – For a touch of sweetness.
For the Blueberry Topping:
- ¼ cup fresh or frozen blueberries – Adds a natural burst of flavor and sweetness.
Optional Add-Ins:
- Zest of 1 lemon – For a citrusy twist.
- Dash of vanilla extract – To enhance the flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare the Egg Whites
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-high speed with an electric mixer.
- Continue beating for 3–4 minutes until stiff peaks form. The egg whites should hold their shape when you tilt the bowl.
3. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, salt, cornstarch (if using), and honey or sweetener until smooth.
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
4. Form the Cloud Bread
- Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6–8 round mounds (about 3 inches wide).
- Sprinkle a few blueberries on top of each mound, gently pressing them in so they stay in place.
5. Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden and firm to the touch.
6. Cool and Serve
- Let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
