Ingredients
Scale
Egg Whites
- 3 large egg whites
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
Egg Yolks Mixture
- 3 large egg yolks
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
Additional
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Whip Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites carefully from the yolks. In a large bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, creating a light foam.
- Mix Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cornstarch, salt, and honey until smooth and well combined.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter; the goal is to keep it light and airy by folding gently.
- Shape and Add Blueberries: Scoop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into small cloud-like rounds. Top each with fresh blueberries, pressing them lightly into the batter.
- Bake: Bake the cloud breads in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they turn golden and are set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the breads to cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Serve warm and optionally spread with butter for extra flavor.
Notes
- Ensure egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for maximum fluffiness.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture; blend it to avoid lumps.
- Be gentle when folding to keep the batter airy.
- These cloud breads are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or omit for a lower sugar version.
- Blueberries can be replaced with other small berries or omitted if preferred.
