Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs (separated)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar (or a pinch of salt)
- ⅓ cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for structure)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate egg whites from yolks. Place whites in a large bowl, yolks in another bowl.
- To the yolks, add cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cornstarch (if using). Blend with an immersion blender or whisk until smooth.
- In the bowl with egg whites, add cream of tartar (or salt). Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
- Gently fold the yolk-cottage cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites, using a spatula, until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whites.
- Carefully fold in fresh blueberries.
- Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 round mounds. Spread slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Tips: For best results, use room temperature eggs. Do not overmix when folding — this keeps the cloud bread airy. Substitutions: Replace honey with maple syrup or stevia. Use frozen blueberries (do not thaw) if fresh aren’t available. Omit cornstarch for a lighter texture. Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
