Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, for structure)
- 1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of sweetener (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat on high using a hand or stand mixer 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.
- Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk and cottage cheese mixture in thirds. Be gentle to maintain air for fluffiness.
- Shape the Cloud Bread: Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 small rounds or larger pieces, depending on preference.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or sweetener for a sweeter version.
- Add herbs like garlic powder or rosemary for a savory option.
- Replace cottage cheese with vegan cream cheese for a dairy-free version.
