Make light, fluffy, and high-protein cloud bread using cottage cheese as a low-carb bread substitute.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese, drained well
  • 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 food processor, combine the egg yolks, softened cream cheese, and drained cottage cheese. Process until completely smooth.
  3. In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the stiff egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it.
  5. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Do not overmix; you want to keep the mixture airy.
  6. Spoon six equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into rounds about 3 inches wide.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Drain the cottage cheese thoroughly to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier blending with the yolks.
  • For best results, use a stand mixer or hand mixer for whipping the egg whites.
  • You can add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the yolk mixture for a savory flavor.
