🛒 Ingredients
3 large eggs, separated 🥚
½ cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat for creaminess) 🧀
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar 🌪️
1 tablespoon almond flour (optional) 🌰
1 tablespoon coconut flour (optional) 🥥
Pinch of salt (optional, but enhances flavor)
🔧 Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Equipment
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Gather two bowls: one for egg whites and one for yolks.
Step 2: Separate & Whip
Separate the eggs carefully. Place egg whites in a large bowl, and yolks in another.
Add cream of tartar to the whites and beat using a hand mixer (or stand mixer) until stiff peaks form — about 3–4 minutes.
Step 3: Blend the Yolks
To the bowl of egg yolks, add:
Cottage cheese
Optional: almond or coconut flour
Pinch of salt
Blend until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or small food processor. You want as few lumps as possible.
Step 4: Fold Gently
Using a spatula, gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites.
Be careful not to deflate the whites too much — work slowly to keep the mixture airy and fluffy.
Step 5: Form the Clouds
Spoon the batter into 6–8 mounds on your lined baking sheet.
Flatten slightly into round, bun-like shapes. They will puff up while baking!
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the texture is slightly crisp on the outside but pillowy inside.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing.
🧊 Storage & Tips
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a toaster or low oven for best texture.
Freezes well — place parchment between each bread piece and store in freezer-safe bag.
🥪 How to Use Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread:

💡 Pro Tip:
