Ingredients

3 large eggs, separated
Ensure no yolk contaminates the whites to achieve stiff peaks when whipping.
½ cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth
Blending creates a uniform texture, contributing to the bread’s fluffiness.
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
Stabilizes egg whites, helping maintain their structure during baking.
½ teaspoon salt
Enhances overall flavor.
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional)
Provides additional structure to the bread, resulting in a slightly firmer texture.
1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of sweetener (optional)
Adds a subtle sweetness; adjust according to preference.

Directions

Prepare the Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Separate the egg whites and yolks into two separate bowls.
Whip the Egg Whites:
Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. This means the egg whites will stand up firmly when the beaters are lifted.
Blend the Yolks and Cottage Cheese:
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the blended cottage cheese, salt, cornstarch or arrowroot powder (if using), and honey or sweetener (if desired).
Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Combine the Mixtures:
Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk and cottage cheese mixture to lighten it.*
Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, using a spatula to maintain as much air as possible for a fluffy texture.
Shape the Cloud Bread:
Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6–8 small rounds or larger pieces, depending on your preference.
Use the back of a spoon to shape them evenly, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cloud breads are golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
