☁️ Light & Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread
🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 pieces)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar (helps stabilize the egg whites)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Optional (for flavor):
- ½ tsp garlic powder or Italian seasoning (savory)
- 1 tsp honey or a pinch of stevia (slightly sweet version)
🔪 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F)
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
2. Blend the Base
- In a bowl, blend cottage cheese with egg yolks until smooth and creamy
3. Whip the Egg Whites
- In a clean bowl, beat egg whites + cream of tartar until stiff peaks form
(This step is key for that “cloud” texture)
4. Fold Gently
- Add baking powder and salt to the yolk mixture
- Gently fold egg whites into the mixture in batches
- Don’t overmix—keep it light and airy
5. Shape
- Spoon the mixture into small rounds on the tray
- Keep them slightly thick for best fluffiness
6. Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and set
7. Cool Slightly
- Let them cool for 5–10 minutes—they firm up as they rest
🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Use as a low-carb sandwich bread
- Top with avocado, smoked chicken, or eggs
- Spread with Greek yogurt + berries for a sweet option
💪 Nutrition Highlights (Per serving)
