Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon honey or a sugar-free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for better structure)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the whites in a clean, dry bowl.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and whip them using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix cottage cheese, egg yolks, honey (or sweetener), and vanilla extract until smooth. You can use a blender for a creamier texture.
- Fold in the Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture in batches. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
- Add Blueberries: Lightly toss blueberries in cornstarch (if using) to prevent them from sinking, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Shape the Bread: Spoon portions of the batter onto the lined baking sheet, forming small rounds.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cloud bread cool before serving. Enjoy it plain or with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Chocolate Version: Add cocoa powder and chocolate chips for a rich twist.
- Lemon Blueberry: Incorporate lemon zest and a splash of lemon juice for a citrusy flavor.
- Savory Option: Skip the sweetener and blueberries, and add herbs and cheese for a savory version.
- Dairy-Free Alternative: Use dairy-free cottage cheese and an egg substitute for a plant-based version
