- Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Low-Carb
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 3 tablespoons cottage cheese (smooth or blended)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the egg whites:
- In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the egg yolks and cottage cheese:
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cottage cheese, honey (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the mixtures:
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites. Use a spatula and fold carefully to maintain as much air as possible.
- Add the blueberries:
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Portion the batter:
- Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in 6–8 mounds. Shape them into rounds about 1/2-inch thick.
- Bake:
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown and set.
- Cool:
- Remove from the oven and let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Sweetness adjustment: If you prefer a savory version, omit the honey and add a pinch of salt or some herbs.
- Blueberry options: Swap blueberries with raspberries or chopped strawberries for variety.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or enjoy chilled.
