PIN IT

Step 1 – Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 320°F (160°C). Line or grease your baking dish.

Step 2 – Separate Eggs

Separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls.

Step 3 – Blend Cottage Cheese

Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth—this is key!

Step 4 – Mix Yolks

Add egg yolks to cottage cheese and mix well.

Step 5 – Whip Egg Whites

Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form—this creates the “cloud” texture.
