How to make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs (separated)
• ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese (drained well and blended until smooth)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for structure and texture)
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (stabilizes egg whites)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener (optional, for a mild sweetness)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• ½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
• ½ cup fresh blueberries

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. If your cottage cheese is watery, tilt the container to pour off any extra liquid, or use a fine-mesh strainer. If it’s thick, you can blend it without draining.
3. Blend the drained cottage cheese in a food processor or with an immersion blender until it’s completely smooth.
4. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This will give the cloud bread a light and fluffy texture.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, creamy blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract (if using), lemon zest (if using), sweetener, and cornstarch until everything is well mixed.
6. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be careful to keep as much air as possible in the mixture.
7. Fold in the blueberries, distributing them evenly without deflating the batter.
8. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each scoop.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
10. Let the cloud bread cool for a few minutes before transferring to a rack. The texture will firm up as it cools, so don’t worry if they feel soft at first!
