Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins and Dairy:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) cottage cheese
Sweeteners and Stabilizers:
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar substitute
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Fruits:
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare a pristine baking surface by lining a sheet with parchment and heating the oven to a gentle 300°F (150°C).
- Transform egg whites into a voluminous cloud by whisking with cream of tartar until they form dramatic, sturdy peaks that hold their shape.
- Create a creamy base by blending egg yolks with cottage cheese, introducing sweet honey and aromatic vanilla, whisking until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, using a gentle folding technique to preserve the airy texture and prevent deflation.
- Tenderly introduce fresh blueberries into the gossamer batter, distributing them evenly with minimal disruption to the delicate structure.
- Artfully dollop the luminous mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming petite, cloud-like rounds with soft edges.
- Nestle the tray into the preheated oven, allowing the clouds to transform into golden, pillowy morsels over 25-30 minutes, watching for a firm, lightly bronzed exterior.
- Allow the cloud bread to relax and settle to room temperature, ensuring a perfect, light texture before serving.
Notes
- Whip egg whites to stiff peaks carefully, ensuring no yolk breaks the volume, which is crucial for achieving that cloud-like texture.
- Choose fresh, plump blueberries and gently fold them to prevent color bleeding and maintain the bread’s delicate structure.
- Lower oven temperature helps create a soft, tender cloud bread without browning too quickly, preserving its light, airy consistency.
- Opt for full-fat cottage cheese to enhance richness and provide better binding for a more stable, tender bread perfect for low-carb and gluten-free diets.
