Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup (120g) cottage cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons sweetener (optional, like erythritol or honey)
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Pinch of salt
Ingredient Notes:
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture.
- Fresh blueberries hold shape better, but frozen works if thawed and drained.
- Sweetener is optional — the blueberries add natural sweetness.
Timing
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Bake Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Whip Egg Whites
In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
Step 3: Mix Egg Yolks & Cottage Cheese
In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, cottage cheese, vanilla, sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
Step 4: Fold Together
Gently fold the egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mixture — you want it airy.
Step 5: Add Blueberries
Fold in blueberries gently so they’re evenly distributed without breaking.
Step 6: Shape & Bake
Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in 6–8 mounds. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and set. Let cool slightly before serving.
Tips for Best Results
- Folding technique: Use a gentle folding motion to retain airiness — this is key for fluffy cloud bread.
- Prevent sogginess: Drain blueberries if frozen, or lightly coat in flour to prevent sinking.
- Serving suggestion: Toast lightly for a slightly crisp exterior.
