Create light, airy, and fluffy Cloud Bread using cottage cheese. This low-carb, Keto-friendly bread is perfect for sandwiches or as a simple side. It captures the essence of the viral trend with a delicious, simple recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, but helps stabilize whites)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. This step is key for a smooth texture.
  3. Add the egg yolks to the smooth cottage cheese mixture and pulse until just combined.
  4. In a separate, clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with the cream of tartar (if using) until stiff peaks form. You want the whites to hold their shape firmly.
  5. Gently fold one-third of the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture to lighten it.
  6. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, taking care not to deflate the air you just incorporated. The final batter should be very light and airy.
  7. Spoon six equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. You can shape them into rounds.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the tops are firm to the touch.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the lightest texture, make sure your egg white bowl is completely free of grease or yolk.
  • If you do not have a food processor, press the cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve after blending to remove any lumps.
  • This bread is best eaten the day it is made for optimal fluffiness.
  • Use this bread as a base for mini pizzas, sandwich halves, or alongside soup.
