Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
Stabilizing Ingredient:
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 300F (150C) and arrange a parchment-lined baking sheet for the bread.
- Meticulously separate egg whites from yolks into distinct mixing bowls.
- Incorporate cream of tartar into egg whites, whisking vigorously until they develop sturdy, glossy peaks.
- Pulverize cottage cheese and egg yolks in a blender until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Delicately integrate the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a gentle folding technique to maintain airiness.
- Carefully deposit rounded portions of the cloud bread mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even spacing.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and allow the bread to transform for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the surface turns a golden hue and the texture becomes firm.
- Remove from the oven and permit the cloud bread to cool completely, enabling it to stabilize and develop its characteristic light, airy texture before serving or storing.
Notes
- Enhance protein content by adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the yolk mixture for a post-workout boost.
- Transform this recipe into a low-carb or keto-friendly option by using full-fat cottage cheese and avoiding any additional sweeteners.
- Experiment with herbs like chives or parsley mixed into the yolk blend to create savory variations that complement different meals.
- Store cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, reheating briefly in a toaster oven to restore original texture.
