Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
Flour and Thickeners:
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Seasonings:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat your oven precisely to 300°F and grab a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Blend 1 cup cottage cheese and 3 large eggs in a mixing bowl until the texture becomes completely smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate ¼ cup almond flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt into the creamy mixture, stirring carefully until all ingredients are well integrated.
- Drop small, even rounds of the mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for exactly 25-30 minutes, watching for a delicate golden color to develop across the surface.
- Remove the cloud bread from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes, giving the delicate rounds time to firm up and cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Separate your egg whites carefully to ensure maximum fluffiness and volume in the cloud bread.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer, more tender texture that holds together well.
- Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks for the lightest, airiest cloud bread possible.
- For a low-carb version, stick with almond flour, but those wanting more protein could swap in a bit of coconut flour.
