Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free version, try replacing cottage cheese with silken tofu blended until smooth.
• Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, fold them in directly without thawing to prevent bleeding.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.
• Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.

Storage

Store leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To refresh, warm briefly in a toaster oven or conventional oven to restore some of the original softness. It is best enjoyed fresh but can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sweetener?

Yes, you can substitute regular sugar, but powdered sweetener helps maintain a smoother texture and dissolves more easily. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.

Why do the egg whites need cream of tartar?

Cream of tartar stabilizes the egg whites, helping them hold their volume and create the light, airy structure essential for cloud bread.

Eggs and Dairy

• 3 large eggs, separated
• ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well and blended until smooth

Baking and Flavoring

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener (optional)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• ½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Fruit

• ½ cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites into two clean bowls, ensuring no yolk contaminates the whites for optimal whipping.
3. Prepare Cottage Cheese Mixture: Blend the well-drained cottage cheese until smooth. Combine it with the egg yolks, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and powdered sweetener (if using), mixing thoroughly to create a smooth batter base.
4. Whip Egg Whites: In the other bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, which adds volume and structure to the bread.
5. Fold Egg Whites into Batter: Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, taking care to maintain airiness and avoid deflating the batter.
6. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to evenly distribute them without breaking them apart.
7. Form Mounds on Baking Sheet: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in small mounds, spacing them apart to allow for even baking.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cloud bread is golden on top and feels firm to the touch.
9. Cool Before Serving: Remove from oven and let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before serving to allow the texture to set fully.

Notes

• Ensure cottage cheese is well-drained to prevent excess moisture which can affect texture.
• Use fresh blueberries for best flavor and texture; frozen can be used but may add moisture.
• Powdered sweetener, vanilla, and lemon zest are optional but enhance flavor subtly.
• Do not overmix the batter once egg whites are folded in to preserve fluffiness.
• Store leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
