How to Make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet

Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the eggs into two bowls.

Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites

Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 3: Prepare the Yolk Mixture

In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, salt, and optional ingredients until smooth.

Step 4: Fold the Mixtures Together

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds, maintaining as much air as possible for a fluffy texture.

Step 5: Form the Cloud Bread Rounds

Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 rounds. Use the back of a spoon to shape them evenly.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
