• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (helps stabilize the egg whites)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch or almond flour (for structure)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for a savory touch)
• 1/2 teaspoon honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls (one large, one medium)
• Hand mixer or stand mixer
• Rubber spatula
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper

How to Make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

1. Preheat the Oven
   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whip the Egg Whites
   • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar using a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture
   • In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks, cottage cheese, cornstarch (or almond flour), salt, and any optional seasonings (garlic powder or honey). Stir until smooth and creamy.
4. Combine the Mixtures
   • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold slowly, ensuring you don’t deflate the egg whites. The batter should be light and fluffy.
5. Shape the Bread
   • Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 6-8 small rounds (like dinner rolls) or 4 larger circles for sandwich-sized bread.
6. Bake to Perfection
   • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.
   • Let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serving Suggestions

• Savory: Top with avocado, smoked salmon, or cream cheese for a delicious breakfast or snack.
• Sweet: Spread with almond butter, honey, or fresh berries for a light, sweet treat.
• Sandwiches: Use the bread as a low-carb bun for chicken, turkey, or veggie sandwiches.

Tips for Perfect Cloud Bread

• Don’t Overmix: When folding the egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, be gentle to keep the batter light and fluffy.
• Use Cream of Tartar: This helps stabilize the egg whites and creates that signature cloud-like texture.
• Customize the Flavor: Add a pinch of herbs, spices, or even cheese for a flavor twist.
• Store Properly: Cloud bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerate: Store cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
• Reheat: Gently reheat in a toaster or warm oven. Avoid the microwave, as it may make the bread soggy.
• Freeze: Cloud bread can be frozen. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
A: Yes! Substitute the cottage cheese with dairy-free cream cheese or mashed silken tofu for a similar texture.

Q2: What if I don’t have cream of tartar?
A: You can use a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar as a substitute to help stabilize the egg whites.

Q3: How do I prevent the cloud bread from deflating?
A: Make sure the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks and fold them gently into the cottage cheese mixture. Also, avoid opening the oven door while baking.
