Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
Flour and Thickeners:
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Seasonings:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a precise 300°F (150°C), ensuring a gentle baking environment for your cloud bread.
- Carefully separate the 3 large eggs, keeping whites and yolks in separate bowls.
- Combine the 3 egg yolks with 1 cup cottage cheese, ¼ cup almond flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Whisk until your mixture becomes completely smooth and uniform.
- Take your egg whites and vigorously beat them using an electric mixer until they transform into tall, glossy peaks that hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped egg whites into your cottage cheese blend, using a spatula to fold gently and preserve the airy texture.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and create 4-6 round mounds of the cloud bread mixture, spacing them evenly to allow proper expansion.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated 300°F oven and bake for exactly 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and firm consistency.
- Remove from the oven and transfer your cloud bread to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Use room-temperature eggs for the best volume and texture when whipping the whites.
- Separate the egg whites carefully, ensuring no yolk breaks into the whites to help them whip properly.
- Fold the egg whites gently and slowly to maintain their airiness and keep the cloud bread light and fluffy.
- For a lower-carb option, replace almond flour with coconut flour, but reduce the amount by about half since coconut flour is more absorbent.
