Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Stabilizers
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Dairy and Flavorings
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Fruits and Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed and patted dry if frozen)
- Sweetener of choice to taste (optional, such as honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
Instructions
- Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl. This step is essential for achieving that signature fluffy cloud bread texture.
- Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the egg yolks, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend the mixture until smooth to create a creamy base that will add richness to your bread.
- Whip Egg Whites: Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and whisk vigorously until stiff peaks form. This aeration is key to the cake-like fluffiness you want in your cloud bread.
- Gently Fold Mixtures: Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese base, preserving as much air as possible. Fold in the blueberries at this point for even distribution throughout the batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping them gently into rounds. Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden and puffed up.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the blueberry fluffy cottage cheese cloud bread to cool slightly before serving, letting its delicate structure set for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to help the egg whites whip up faster and higher.
- Ensure mixing bowls and whisk are grease-free to achieve maximum egg white volume.
- Fold gently to avoid deflating the whipped egg whites, keeping the bread light and fluffy.
- Prefer fresh blueberries to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Remove from oven when cloud bread starts to turn pale golden to maintain soft texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze wrapped pieces for up to 1 month for convenient reheating.
- Reheat gently in a toaster oven or on a dry skillet over low heat to restore fluffiness.
