Ingredients
Scale
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)
Fruit
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Separate Eggs and Beat Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, add the egg whites with cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy foam.
- Mix Egg Yolk Batter: 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 Together: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula. Take care to fold lightly to maintain the airiness of the batter.
- Shape and Add Blueberries: Scoop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet to form cloud-shaped breads. Top each with fresh blueberries gently pressed into the batter.
- Bake the Cloud Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the cloud breads are golden on top and set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cloud bread to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm, optionally spreading some butter on top for extra richness.
Notes
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low-carb, making it ideal for those following a gluten-free or ketogenic lifestyle.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries as preferred; frozen berries should be thawed and drained.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter after folding to keep the cloud bread light and fluffy.
- This bread is best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
- For a sweeter touch, drizzle additional honey on top before serving.
