Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Cottage Cheese Mixture
- 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese, blended until smooth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Beat Egg Whites: Place the egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and add the cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks form; this will give the bread its airy texture.
- Mix Egg Yolks and Cottage Cheese: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks with the blended cottage cheese and mix until smooth. Stir in salt and optional garlic powder and Parmesan cheese to enhance flavor.
- Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk and cottage cheese mixture in batches, taking care not to deflate the fluffiness.
- Shape and Bake: Spoon the batter into 6 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet, shaping each into round discs about 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and set.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the cloud breads from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving to enhance their structure and texture.
Notes
- Ensure cottage cheese is fully blended and smooth for the best texture.
- Store cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Lightly toast before serving to improve flavor and texture.
- Perfect for low-carb sandwiches or breakfast stacks.
