Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks aside; you will not use them for this recipe.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese and the three egg yolks. Mix until smooth. You can use an immersion blender for the smoothest texture.
- In a separate, clean, dry bowl, add the three egg whites and the cream of tartar.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This step is key for the light and fluffy texture.
- Gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the stiff egg whites in two additions. Do not overmix; stop folding when just combined to keep the air in the batter.
- Drop six equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into rough circles or ovals, similar to hamburger buns.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let the cloud bread cool completely on the baking sheet before handling.
Notes
- For the fluffiest result, ensure your bowl for whipping egg whites is completely free of grease or water.
- If you prefer a savory flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the cottage cheese mixture.
- This bread is best eaten the day it is made, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
