Description
This recipe, “Blueberry Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread,” is a delightful variation on the classic cloud bread, incorporating cottage cheese for added protein and fresh or frozen blueberries for a burst of fruity sweetness
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 3 tablespoons cottage cheese (smooth or blended)
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Prepare the Egg Whites: In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This is the most important step for achieving the cloud-like texture.
-
Mix the Egg Yolks and Cottage Cheese: In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cottage cheese, honey (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites in thirds. Use a spatula and fold carefully, maintaining as much air as possible for fluffiness. This step requires a light touch to avoid deflating the egg whites.
-
Add the Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
-
Portion the Batter: Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in 6–8 mounds. Shape them into rounds about ½-inch thick.
-
Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown and set.
-
Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
