Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread is a light and airy low-carb bread alternative made by whipping egg whites to stiff peaks and folding them into a cottage cheese and egg yolk mixture. This gluten-free bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or a healthy snack, offering a deliciously soft texture and subtle flavor, topped with optional sesame seeds or fresh herbs for extra taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Whites

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar

Egg Yolk Mixture

  • ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp almond flour (optional)
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour (optional)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Toppings

  • Sesame seeds or fresh herbs for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing each into separate clean bowls to prepare for whipping and mixing.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: Using a mixer, whip the egg whites together with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, which will create the airy structure needed for the bread.
  4. Mix Egg Yolks and Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the egg yolks with cottage cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  5. Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture with a spatula, taking care not to deflate the egg whites to maintain the bread’s fluffiness.
  6. Shape Dough: Spoon dollops of the combined mixture onto the lined baking sheet, shaping each into rounds to create individual bread portions.
  7. Bake: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the breads turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving, allowing the cloud bread to set for the best texture.

Notes

  • For a lower-carb option, almond and coconut flour can be adjusted or omitted but will affect texture slightly.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better volume when whipping egg whites.
  • Do not overmix when folding egg whites into yolks to keep the bread light and airy.
  • This bread is best eaten fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
  • Topping with sesame seeds or fresh herbs adds flavor and a nice visual touch.
