Ingredients
Scale
Egg Whites Mixture
- 3 egg whites
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
Cottage Cheese Mixture
- 3 egg yolks
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional for structure)
- 1 tsp honey (or a sugar alternative)
- ½ tsp salt
Topping
- Fresh or frozen blueberries (quantity as desired, approximately ¼ cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, which ensures a light and airy texture for the cloud bread.
- Prepare Cottage Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, honey, salt, and optional cornstarch until smooth and well combined. This mixture adds moisture and structure to the bread.
- Fold the Mixtures: Gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the air whipped into the egg whites to maintain the fluffy texture.
- Shape the Bread: Spoon the batter into small, round mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Top each mound with a few blueberries, gently pressing them into the batter.
- Bake: Bake the shaped batter in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breads are golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Blending the cottage cheese until smooth is key to achieving a light, fluffy texture.
- Cornstarch is optional but helps improve structure and stability in the bread.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if using frozen, add them directly without thawing.
- Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks to get the characteristic cloud-like texture.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days; the bread is best enjoyed fresh.
