Make light, airy cloud bread using cottage cheese and eggs. This simple recipe creates a high-protein, low-carb bread substitute perfect for sandwiches or toast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cottage cheese, full fat or low fat
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender. Process until the mixture is completely smooth, resembling a thick paste. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in a small bowl and set the whites aside in a large, clean mixing bowl.
  4. Add the processed cottage cheese and salt to the egg yolks. Mix until just combined.
  5. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. Gently fold one-third of the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese and yolk mixture to lighten it.
  7. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, working gently to keep as much air in the mixture as possible. Stop folding when no white streaks remain.
  8. Spoon six equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. You can shape them into rounds or ovals.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cloud breads are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best rise, ensure your mixing bowl for the egg whites is completely free of grease or water.
  • If you do not have a food processor, press the cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother base.
  • This bread is best eaten the same day it is made for maximum fluffiness.
