Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3 tbsp cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey or sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the Egg Whites:
- In a clean bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar.
- Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the Yolks and Cottage Cheese:
- In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, cottage cheese, salt, and honey (if using) until smooth.
- Fold the Mixtures Together:
- Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three parts, being careful not to deflate the airy texture.
- Shape and Bake:
- Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6 small mounds or rounds.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cloud bread cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy as is, or use as a base for toppings like avocado, cream cheese, or jam!
Notes
- Make sure the bowl for the egg whites is clean and grease-free to help achieve stiff peaks.
- You can add seasonings like garlic powder, Italian herbs, or cheese for a savory twist.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
