Discover the light and airy bliss of Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread. This recipe creates a high-protein, low-carb alternative to traditional bread that is simple to make and perfect for sandwiches or sides.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat, drained well)
  • 3 large eggs (separated into yolks and whites)
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar (or 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain the cottage cheese thoroughly. You can press it between paper towels or use a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess moisture. This step is key for fluffiness.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix the drained cottage cheese with the egg yolks until smooth. Set aside.
  4. In a separate, clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. The whites should hold their shape when you lift the beaters.
  5. Gently fold one-third of the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese and yolk mixture to lighten it.
  6. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the air you incorporated. You want the mixture to remain light and airy.
  7. Drop large spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. You should get 6 to 8 rounds.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
  9. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cloud bread cool inside the oven for 10 minutes. This helps prevent sinking.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or using as a Keto Sandwich Bread.

Notes

  • For the best results, ensure your egg white bowl is completely free of any grease or yolk residue.
  • If you want a savory flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and a pinch of dried herbs to the cottage cheese mixture.
  • This bread is best eaten the day it is made for the lightest texture.
