Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs separated
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese blended until smooth
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder optional, for added structure

Instructions
 

  • Preheat & Prep:
    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Whip the Egg Whites:
    In a clean, dry bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together until stiff peaks form. This is key to getting the fluffiness we’re after!
  • Mix the Egg Yolks and Cottage Cheese:
    In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, salt, and cornstarch (if using). Stir until smooth and well combined.
  • Fold Together:
    Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk-cottage cheese mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the airy texture you’ve created. Use a light hand here!
  • Shape & Bake:
    Spoon the batter onto your prepared baking sheet, forming 6 even mounds. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the bread is firm to the touch.
  • Cool & Serve:
    Remove the cloud bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This gives it time to set and enhances the texture.

Notes

  • Allow Ingredients to Reach Room Temperature
    For the best fluffiness, it's essential that both the eggs and cottage cheese are at room temperature. Cold ingredients can prevent the bread from rising properly and affect its texture. Simply let them sit out for about 15 minutes before you start mixing.
  • Let It Cool Completely
    Cloud bread continues to firm up and set as it cools. To achieve that perfect airy texture and prevent any sogginess, place your bread on a wire rack to cool down completely. This will ensure it maintains its light, fluffy structure.
