Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Beat Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat vigorously until stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy foam.
- Mix Egg Yolks and Other Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cornstarch, salt, and honey until smooth.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be careful to fold lightly to maintain the airiness of the batter and avoid deflating it.
- Scoop and Add Blueberries: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into cloud-like rounds. Top each with fresh blueberries to add a burst of flavor and color.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cloud breads are golden on top and set through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the breads from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm, optionally with a spread of butter.
Notes
- This bread is naturally gluten-free and low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for low-carb diets.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or a sugar-free sweetener to reduce sugar content.
- For a dairy-free version, replace cottage cheese with a plant-based soft cheese or blended tofu.
- Be gentle while folding to keep the batter light and airy, which is key to the fluffy texture.
- Serve fresh for best texture; leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and gently reheated.
