How to Make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

PIN IT

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Blend cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.
3. Separate eggs: yolks in one bowl, whites in another.
4. Whip the whites: add cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form. (This is what makes the bread cloud-like!)
5. Mix yolks + cottage cheese: stir in almond flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
6. Fold gently: spoon egg whites into yolk mixture, folding carefully to keep the fluff.
7. Scoop rounds: spoon 6 equal dollops onto parchment.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and set.
9. Cool completely before peeling off parchment.

✨ The result? Soft, golden, cloud-like bread that practically melts in your mouth!

What to Serve with Fluffy Cloud Bread

• Savory: turkey, avocado, lettuce, and mayo for a keto sandwich.
• Sweet: spread with sugar-free jam, almond butter, or cinnamon butter.
• Breakfast style: top with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overfold—gentle folding keeps the bread fluffy.
• Use parchment paper (not foil) for easy release.
• Let it cool before peeling off, or it may stick.
• Store in an airtight container to keep from drying out.

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store up to 3 days in a sealed container.
• Freezer: Wrap individually in parchment + freeze up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Toast or warm in oven at 300°F for 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Use dairy-free cream cheese instead of cottage cheese.

2. Why did my cloud bread deflate?
Most likely, the egg whites weren’t whipped stiff enough or you folded too aggressively.

3. Can I make it sweet?
Absolutely—add 1 tbsp erythritol or honey and a dash of vanilla.

4. Do I need cream of tartar?
It helps stabilize egg whites, but you can skip it—just whip longer.
