How to Make Sweet Cinnamon Vanilla Cottage Cheese Cloud Toast
- Separate the eggs. Place yolks in one bowl and whites in another.
- Blend the base. To the yolks, add cottage cheese, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend until creamy.
- Whip the whites. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (like when making meringue).
- Fold gently. Fold the whipped whites into the cottage cheese mixture—this is what creates the fluffy, cloud-like texture.
- Bake. Spoon the batter onto a parchment-lined tray, shaping into toast-sized rounds. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Serve. Enjoy warm with honey drizzle, nut butter, or your favorite toppings.
It smells like cinnamon rolls baking in your oven—warm, sweet, and so comforting!
What to Serve with Sweet Cinnamon Vanilla Cottage Cheese Cloud Toast
Pair with:
- A hot latte or spiced chai.
- A fresh fruit salad.
- A dollop of Greek yogurt with berries.
For a dessert twist, top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries—like a light strawberry shortcake!
Tips for Making It Perfect
- Don’t skip whipping the egg whites—this is the magic that makes it cloud-like.
- Fold gently—overmixing will deflate the batter.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture.
- Bake low and slow—too high heat makes them collapse.
Storage Instructions
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Wrap and freeze up to 1 month. Reheat in toaster oven for best texture.
- Reheat: Pop in oven or air fryer at 300°F for a few minutes to revive fluffiness.
