Make light, airy, and fluffy cloud bread using cottage cheese. This simple recipe provides a high-protein, gluten-free bread alternative perfect for keto diets and sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, full fat or low fat
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, for stability)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese and egg yolks. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. In a separate, clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar (if using) until stiff peaks form. The whites should hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the stiff 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. Stop folding when no white streaks remain.
  6. Drop large spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. You should get 6 to 8 rounds.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread is firm to the touch.
  8. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cloud bread cool inside the oven for 10 minutes to help maintain its airy structure.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve warm or cool completely before using as a sandwich base.

Notes

  • For best results in achieving stiff peaks, ensure your bowl and whisk attachments are completely free of grease or water.
  • If you skip the cream of tartar, your egg whites may take slightly longer to reach stiff peaks.
  • This bread is best eaten the day it is made for the fluffiest texture.
