Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 300 Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Whip Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, add the egg whites along with the cream of tartar. Beat vigorously until stiff peaks form to create a light and airy base.
- Mix Egg Yolks and Other Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cornstarch, salt, and honey until fully combined and smooth.
- Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter to maintain its light texture.
- Shape and Add Blueberries: Scoop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping each into a cloud-like round. Top each scoop with fresh blueberries evenly distributed.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until the cloud breads are golden on top and set in texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the breads to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, optionally spread with a little butter.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative.
- Do not overmix when folding to keep the cloud bread light and fluffy.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen can be used but may add extra moisture.
- These cloud breads are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the honey quantity or use a sugar substitute to make it diabetic-friendly.
