Make light, airy, and fluffy cloud bread using cottage cheese. This recipe is low-carb, gluten-free, and perfect for sandwiches or as a bread substitute.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese and egg yolks. Mix until smooth. You can use an immersion blender or food processor for the smoothest texture.
  3. In a separate, clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. The peaks should hold their shape when you lift the whisk.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture to lighten it.
  5. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, working gently to keep as much air in the mixture as possible. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon six equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread is firm to the touch.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Use immediately for the best fluffy texture.

Notes

  • For a savory version, add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (like oregano or thyme) to the cottage cheese mixture.
  • If you do not have cream of tartar, use 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar to stabilize the egg whites.
  • This bread is best eaten the day it is made for maximum fluffiness.
