Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup (40 g) blueberries
Stabilizing Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Optional Sweeteners:
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 300F (150C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick performance.
- Meticulously separate egg whites and yolks into two distinct mixing bowls to ensure clean separation.
- Sprinkle cream of tartar into the egg whites to stabilize the meringue structure.
- Utilize an electric mixer to whip egg whites on high intensity until they form rigid, glossy peaks that hold their shape.
- Combine egg yolks with cottage cheese, introducing salt, cornstarch, and optional honey to create a smooth, creamy base.
- Gently incorporate the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture using a delicate folding technique, maintaining the cloud-like airiness in three gradual additions.
- Tenderly fold blueberries into the mixture, ensuring minimal disruption to the delicate texture.
- Distribute the airy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, crafting 6-8 rounds with gentle, consistent shaping.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the surface achieves a golden-brown hue and the interior sets completely.
- Allow the cloud bread to cool entirely on the baking sheet, enabling it to firm up and develop its signature ethereal texture.
Notes
- Stabilize egg whites with cream of tartar for maximum volume and perfect cloud bread texture.
- Use room temperature eggs to achieve higher, fluffier peaks when whipping egg whites.
- Gently fold blueberries at the end to prevent bursting and maintain delicate cloud bread structure.
- Experiment with different sweeteners like maple syrup or stevia for varied flavor profiles and dietary needs.
