Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks and whisk the whites with a pinch of salt until you achieve stiff, glossy peaks. This step provides the signature fluffiness that defines cloud bread.
- Mix Cottage Cheese and Yolks: In a separate bowl, blend the cottage cheese with the egg yolks, baking powder, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth. This creamy mixture forms the base of your bread’s structure and flavor.
- Fold in Egg Whites Gently: Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture. Use a gentle hand to preserve all those lovely air bubbles that make the bread so light.
- Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed but not crushed, to keep bursts of flavor intact.
- Bake to Perfection: Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating small rounds. Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 25 minutes or until golden and puffed.
Notes
- Make sure no yolks mix with the egg whites to achieve perfect volume and texture.
- Use fresh blueberries to prevent excess moisture and sogginess in the bread.
- Fold the batter gently to keep it airy and light.
- Bake at a low temperature for a longer time to maintain fluffiness without excessive browning.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before serving to help it set and enhance texture.
