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 added 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. - Separate the Eggs:
Separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls, ensuring no yolk mixes with the whites. - Whip the Egg Whites:
Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. - Prepare the Yolks Mixture:
In the egg yolks bowl, mix the blended cottage cheese, salt, cornstarch (if using), and honey or sweetener (if using) until smooth. - Combine Mixtures:
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds, using a spatula to preserve the airiness. - Shape and Bake:
Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form 6–8 rounds or larger pieces. Use the back of a spoon to shape them evenly. - Bake:
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and set. Let the cloud bread cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- For a savory twist, sprinkle herbs or grated cheese on top before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in the oven or toaster for a crispier texture.
