Description

This Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread is a light, airy, and slightly sweet low-carb bread alternative. Combining whipped egg whites and smooth cottage cheese creates a soft, cloud-like texture studded with fresh blueberries for a burst of fruity flavor. Perfect for a gluten-free, protein-rich snack or breakfast option.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Dairy

  • 3 large eggs (separated)
  • ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese (drained well and blended until smooth)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for structure and texture)
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (stabilizes egg whites)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener (optional, for a mild sweetness)

Flavorings and Add-ins

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Cottage Cheese: Drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese by tilting the container or using a fine-mesh strainer. If the cottage cheese is already thick, proceed to blend it as is.
  3. Blend Cottage Cheese: Use a food processor or immersion blender to blend the drained cottage cheese until completely smooth, ensuring a creamy base for the bread batter.
  4. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites along with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for creating the bread’s fluffy texture.
  5. Mix Yolks and Other Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, smooth cottage cheese, vanilla extract and lemon zest if using, powdered sweetener, and cornstarch until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the stiff egg whites using a spatula. Fold carefully to retain as much air as possible for a light and airy batter.
  7. Add Blueberries: Fold in the fresh blueberries evenly throughout the batter, taking care not to deflate it.
  8. Scoop Batter: Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop portions of the batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for slight expansion.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cloud bread is golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
  10. Cool: Allow the cloud bread to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. The texture will firm up as it cools, so expect softness initially.

Notes

  • Ensure egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks to achieve the signature fluffy texture.
  • Draining the cottage cheese well is essential to avoid excess moisture which can make the bread soggy.
  • The cornstarch helps improve structure but can be substituted with arrowroot powder if preferred.
  • Blueberries can be swapped with other small fruits or omitted for a plain version.
  • This bread is best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in a toaster or oven to refresh texture before serving.
