Make light, airy cloud bread using cottage cheese for a high-protein, low-carb bread alternative perfect for sandwiches or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat, drained slightly)
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, for stability)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cottage cheese and egg yolks into a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, with no visible curds remaining. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. In a separate, clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar (if using) until stiff peaks form. The peaks should hold their shape when you lift the whisk.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese/yolk mixture to lighten it.
  5. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Do not overmix; you want to keep as much air in the mixture as possible for fluffiness.
  6. Spoon six to eight mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Shape them into rounds resembling small buns.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cloud breads are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before handling. Use immediately as a low-carb bread substitute.

Notes

  • For maximum fluffiness, ensure your egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks and fold them in gently.
  • If you do not have a food processor, press the cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve before blending with the yolks to remove lumps.
  • This bread is best eaten the day it is made for the lightest texture.
