Description
Cloud bread blends creamy cottage cheese with whipped egg whites for a protein-packed, low-carb delight. Delicate clouds of goodness emerge from simple ingredients you’ll savor with each airy bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cottage cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 300F (150C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick surface.
- Separate egg whites into a clean mixing bowl and whip with cream of tartar using an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks develop that hold their shape perfectly.
- Create a smooth, creamy base by combining egg yolks, cottage cheese, salt, and honey in a separate bowl, blending until uniformly mixed.
- Carefully incorporate the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a gentle folding technique, preserving the airiness of the whites to maintain the bread’s delicate texture.
- Delicately distribute the airy batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping into small, uniform cloud-like rounds with consistent size.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the clouds turn a light golden brown and develop a crisp exterior.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cloud bread to cool completely, which helps stabilize its delicate structure before serving.
Notes
- Choose egg whites at room temperature for maximum volume and stability when whipping.
- Add cream of tartar gradually to help stabilize egg white foam and create higher, more consistent peaks.
- Fold ingredients gently using a spatula with a bottom-to-top sweeping motion to maintain cloud bread’s delicate airiness.
- Customize flavor by experimenting with herbs, spices, or different sweeteners like maple syrup or stevia for varied taste profiles.
