Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup fresh blueberries
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This precise temperature ensures perfect texture for your cloud bread.
- Separate 3 large eggs, placing whites in a clean mixing bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar and whip with a mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine ½ cup cottage cheese, egg yolks, 1 tablespoon honey, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until your mixture looks smooth and creamy.
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture. Use gentle circular motions to preserve the fluffy air bubbles.
- Gently incorporate ⅓ cup fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small round cloud-like shapes about 3 inches wide.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon almond flour, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon over the cloud bread before baking.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops turn golden brown and feel slightly firm when touched.
- Remove from the oven and let the cloud bread cool completely. The texture will set and become more stable as it cools.
Notes
- Use a spotlessly clean, dry bowl when whipping egg whites to ensure they reach maximum volume and stiffness.
- Fold the mixtures together gently and carefully to maintain the airy, cloud-like texture that makes this bread special.
- For a protein-packed breakfast, slice the cloud bread and top with additional fresh blueberries or a drizzle of honey.
- To make this recipe gluten-free and low-carb, the current method already meets those dietary requirements without any modifications.
