Print Recipe

Light and airy cloud bread made with cottage cheese, egg whites, and a touch of sweetness. A fun and surprisingly delicious treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat, small curd cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
  • Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate egg whites from yolks. Place whites in a large, clean, dry bowl. Place yolks in a separate bowl.
  2. Whip Egg Whites: Add cream of tartar to egg whites. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium speed, gradually increasing to high.
  3. Add Sugar: Once soft peaks form, gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while whipping.
  4. Whip to Stiff Peaks: Continue whipping until stiff, glossy peaks form (5-7 minutes).
  5. Combine Cottage Cheese and Yolks: In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the cottage cheese and vanilla extract.
  6. Blend Until Smooth: Use an immersion blender or regular blender to blend the cottage cheese mixture until it is completely smooth.
  7. Fold in Cottage Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites in three additions, being careful not to overmix.
  8. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries.
  9. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  10. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  11. Spoon Batter: Gently spoon batter onto the baking sheet, forming one large or several smaller cloud breads.
  12. Shape (Optional): Gently shape the batter with a spatula.
  13. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and set.
  14. Cool Completely: Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cloud bread cool completely in the oven (about an hour).
  15. Dust and Serve: Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture.
  • Whip egg whites to stiff, glossy peaks.
  • Be gentle when folding to avoid deflating the egg whites.
  • Cool completely in the oven to prevent collapsing.
  • Cloud bread is best enjoyed fresh.
  • Experiment with different flavors by adding other berries, spices, or extracts.
