Ingredients
  

  • For the Cloud Bread:
  • 3 large eggs separated
  • ½ cup cottage cheese preferably full-fat for better texture
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar helps stabilize the egg whites
  • 1 tbsp almond flour optional, for structure
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour optional, for texture
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter for added moisture
  • For Topping Optional:
  • Sesame seeds chia seeds, or poppy seeds
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Eggs
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Separate the egg whites and yolks. Place the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
  • Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Use an electric mixer to beat until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for achieving a fluffy texture.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture
  • In the bowl with the yolks, add cottage cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil.
  • Mix until smooth and well-combined.
  • Step 3: Fold the Mixtures Together
  • Gently fold the egg white mixture into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula.
  • Be gentle to maintain the fluffiness. Avoid overmixing, as it can deflate the batter.
  • Step 4: Shape the Bread
  • Using a spoon, drop dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Shape each dollop into a circular or oval form, about ½ inch thick.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chia seeds, or herbs for added flavor and texture.
  • Step 5: Bake the Bread
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden and slightly firm to the touch.
  • Let the cloud bread cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Step 6: Serve & Store
  • Once cooled, the cloud bread can be used for sandwiches, toast, or as a low-carb burger bun.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Whip the Egg Whites Properly: Stiff peaks ensure that the bread is light and airy.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Gently fold the mixtures to keep the batter fluffy.
  • Add Herbs and Spices: Enhance the flavor with garlic powder, rosemary, or Italian seasoning.
  • Cool Completely: Let the bread cool to maintain its structure and avoid sogginess.
