Step-by-Step

Making Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread is simple and fun. Here’s how to do it perfectly every time:

1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Blend cottage cheese. In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.
3. Separate the eggs. Place yolks in one bowl and whites in another.
4. Mix the yolks. Stir the blended cottage cheese into the yolks along with a pinch of salt.
5. Whip the egg whites. Add cream of tartar to the whites and beat until stiff peaks form.
6. Fold gently. Carefully fold the whipped whites into the yolk mixture — do not overmix; keep the batter light and airy.
7. Scoop and shape. Spoon small mounds of batter (about ¼ cup each) onto the baking sheet, flattening slightly into rounds.
8. Bake. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and slightly firm to the touch.
9. Cool and enjoy. Let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.

You Must

To make the fluffiest and most delicious Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread, follow these must-do steps:

• Blend your cottage cheese. This removes lumps and makes the texture silky.
• Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. This step is key to getting that light, airy structure.
• Fold gently. Overmixing will deflate the air and make the bread flat.
• Use parchment paper. Cloud bread tends to stick — parchment helps it lift easily.
• Cool completely. They firm up as they cool, making them easier to handle.

Pro Tips

1. Make it savory. Add garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian herbs for a flavorful twist.
2. Go sweet. Add a teaspoon of honey or vanilla and use it as a base for fruit or nut butter.
3. Air fryer version. You can bake them in an air fryer at 300°F for 12–14 minutes.
4. Store properly. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
5. Reheat before serving. Pop them in a toaster or oven for a few minutes to refresh their fluffiness.

Conclusion

This Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread proves that healthy can be delicious. It’s soft, light, and satisfying without any flour or guilt. Perfect for those following keto, gluten-free, or high-protein diets, it’s also a great recipe for anyone looking to enjoy bread in a smarter way.
