Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheet
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Separate the Eggs
Carefully separate egg whites into one bowl and yolks into another.
Ensure no yolk gets into the whites for perfect whipping.
3. Whip the Egg Whites
Add cream of tartar to the egg whites.
Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Tip: Properly whipped egg whites are key to that signature cloud texture!
4. Make the Cottage Cheese Base
In the bowl with the yolks, add cottage cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
If desired, stir in almond flour for a bit more structure.
5. Fold the Mixtures Together
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture.
Be careful not to deflate the whites — fold gently with a spatula.
Once mostly combined, gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
6. Shape and Bake
Scoop dollops of batter onto the lined baking sheet, spacing apart slightly.
Use the back of the spoon to shape into rounds.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until lightly golden and set.
7. Cool and Enjoy
Let cool slightly before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired and enjoy the cloud-like magic!
Tips for Perfect Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread
Use Room-Temperature Eggs: They whip up faster and fluffier.
Dry the Blueberries: After washing, dry them completely to avoid soggy spots.
Don’t Overmix: Gentle folding keeps the batter airy.
Experiment with Flavors: Add a dash of lemon zest for a citrusy twist!
Creative Variations
