Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
3 large eggs, brought to room temperature and separated
02 -
1/2 cup cottage cheese, blended until silky smooth
03 -
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, to stabilize those egg whites
04 -
1/2 teaspoon salt, to enhance all the flavors
→ Optional Add-ins
05 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder, for better structure
06 -
1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of your favorite sweetener
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by warming up your oven to 300°F (150°C). While it's heating, grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Carefully separate your eggs - whites in one bowl, yolks in another.
02 -
Sprinkle the cream of tartar over your egg whites. Now, grab your mixer and whip those whites until they form beautiful stiff peaks - they should stand up straight when you lift the beaters!
03 -
In your bowl with the yolks, add your smooth blended cottage cheese, salt, and if you're using them, the cornstarch and sweetener. Mix until everything's well combined and smooth.
04 -
Here's where we need to be extra gentle - add your fluffy egg whites to the yolk mixture in three parts, folding carefully with a spatula. We want to keep all that lovely air in there!
05 -
Spoon the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, making 6-8 round clouds. Use the back of your spoon to shape them into even circles.
06 -
Pop them in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. You're looking for a lovely golden brown color. Once done, let them cool completely on the baking sheet - patience is key here!
