Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
Dairy
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended)
Toppings
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Beat egg whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully. In a large bowl, combine the egg whites with cream of tartar, then beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, creating a foamy and stable base for the bread.
- Mix yolk mixture: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cornstarch, salt, and honey until smooth and well combined.
- Fold mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula. Stir carefully to avoid deflating the airy egg whites, maintaining the light and fluffy texture of the batter.
- Shape bread and add toppings: Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming cloud-like mounds of bread. Evenly top each mound with fresh blueberries to add natural sweetness and color.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the bread turns golden and is set, indicating it is cooked through with a delicate, airy texture.
- Cool and remove: Let the cloud breads cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up. Then transfer them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely without becoming soggy.
- Serve: Enjoy the cloud bread warm. Optionally, spread some butter on top for added richness and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for maximum fluffiness.
- Do not overfold the mixtures to keep the bread light and airy.
- Using blended cottage cheese helps create a smooth batter.
- The bread is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- You can substitute blueberries with other fresh fruits or toppings as preferred.
