How to Make Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese until smooth — this gives your bread that dreamy, cloud-like texture.
- Separate your eggs. In one bowl, whisk yolks with baking powder and salt. In another, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold gently. Add the yolk mixture into the whites using a spatula — soft, airy folds only!
- Scoop and bake. Drop spoonfuls onto your baking sheet and shape into rounds.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and puffed. Let them cool slightly before serving.
When you pull these out of the oven, they’ll look like fluffy little clouds ready to float off the pan — and yes, it smells heavenly! ☁️
What to Serve with Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread
- Sweet: A smear of almond butter and sliced strawberries.
- Savory: Avocado, smoked salmon, or turkey slices.
- Drink pairing: Try with my Iced Matcha Latte for a refreshing boost!
Tips for Making It Perfect
- Use room temperature eggs for easier whipping.
- Don’t overmix — air is your best friend here!
- Add a touch of cornstarch if you want extra structure.
- Store them flat while cooling to keep their shape.
Storage Instructions
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop in a toaster or oven for a few minutes. You can freeze them for up to a month — just thaw and toast before eating.
