Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stabilizing and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 300F (150C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick performance.
- Whip egg whites with cream of tartar using an electric mixer, creating a voluminous meringue with stiff, glossy peaks that hold their shape.
- Create a creamy base by thoroughly blending egg yolks, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, honey, and salt until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture using a delicate folding technique, maintaining the airiness of the mixture.
- Gently distribute blueberries throughout the batter, ensuring even spread without deflating the delicate mixture.
- Transfer the cloud bread batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small, uniform rounds with gentle spoonfuls.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the surfaces turn a delicate golden brown and the texture becomes set and slightly firm.
- Allow the cloud bread to cool completely on the baking sheet, which helps stabilize the delicate texture and makes handling easier.
Notes
- Whip egg whites with precision, ensuring stiff peaks form for maximum fluffiness and light texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help blend smoothly and create consistent cloud bread texture.
- Opt for fresh or frozen blueberries, but pat them dry to prevent excess moisture from affecting the bread’s structure.
- For dietary variations, substitute honey with maple syrup or stevia for lower sugar options, and experiment with different berries like raspberries or strawberries.
