Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
This simple, 7-ingredient recipe comes together quickly with just a few pantry staples.
You’ll Need:
For the Fluffy Base:
- 3 large eggs, separated – Egg whites create the signature fluffy texture.
- ½ cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth – Adds protein and a creamy texture.
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar – Helps stabilize the egg whites for maximum fluffiness.
- ½ teaspoon salt – Enhances flavor.
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional) – Helps provide structure to the bread.
- 1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of sweetener (optional) – Adds a subtle sweetness.
For the Blueberry Twist (Optional):
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries – For a burst of fruity flavor, either mixed in or sprinkled on top.
Step 2: Prepare the Cloud Bread Mixture
1. Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Whip the Egg Whites
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add egg whites and cream of tartar.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
- You’ll know they’re ready when the mixture is glossy and holds its shape when you lift the beaters.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, salt, cornstarch (if using), and honey or sweetener until smooth.
At this point, we have two key components: the fluffy whipped egg whites and the creamy cottage cheese mixture. Now, it’s time to gently fold them together to keep that airy texture!
Step 3: Gently Fold the Mixtures Together
Now that we have our fluffy whipped egg whites and our creamy cottage cheese mixture, it’s time to combine them carefully to maintain that light, airy texture that makes cloud bread so special.
1. Fold in the Egg Whites
- Take a third of the whipped egg whites and gently fold them into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula. This helps lighten the batter before adding the rest.
- Slowly fold in the remaining egg whites in two more batches, using gentle scooping motions to keep the batter light and airy.
- Be careful not to overmix—you want to keep as much air in the batter as possible!
2. Add the Blueberries (Optional)
- If you’re mixing the blueberries into the batter, gently fold them in at this stage.
- If you want a prettier presentation, simply sprinkle them on top after shaping the bread.
Step 4: Shape & Bake the Cloud Bread
1. Shape the Bread
- Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds for individual servings or shaping it into a loaf-style form for slicing.
- If you sprinkled blueberries on top, gently press them slightly into the batter so they don’t roll off.
2. Bake to Perfection
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven at 300°F (150°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cloud bread turns golden brown and set.
3. Cool Before Serving
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes before serving—this helps it hold its shape better.
- Once cooled, enjoy it as is or topped with extra honey, yogurt, or a dusting of powdered sugar!
At this point, your Blueberry Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread should be light, airy, slightly golden, and bursting with flavor.
Part 3: Pro Tips, FAQs, and Final Thoughts
Your Blueberry Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread is fresh out of the oven—light, airy, and slightly golden, with bursts of juicy blueberries! But before you take your first bite, let’s go over some pro tips, frequently asked questions, and fun ways to customize this recipe.
Pro Tips for the Best Cloud Bread
1. Beat the Egg Whites Until Stiff Peaks Form
To get that signature fluffy texture, make sure your egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks—they should be glossy and hold their shape when you lift the beaters. If they’re too soft, the bread may turn out flat.
2. Fold Gently—Don’t Overmix!
When folding the egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, use slow, gentle motions to keep as much air in the batter as possible. Overmixing will cause the batter to deflate, making the bread dense instead of fluffy.
3. Drain the Blueberries If They’re Juicy
If your blueberries are extra juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the batter. This prevents excess moisture from affecting the texture of the bread.
4. Let the Bread Cool Before Slicing
Cloud bread is delicate when it first comes out of the oven. Let it cool for at least 5-10 minutes to help it firm up before slicing or serving.
5. Store It Properly for Later
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to restore its fluffy texture.
- Avoid microwaving—it can make the bread too soft and soggy.
FAQ: Answering Your Cloud Bread Questions
1. Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! If you don’t have cottage cheese, you can substitute Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese for a similar creamy texture.
2. Can I make this cloud bread without blueberries?
Absolutely! You can leave out the blueberries for a classic version or swap them for other mix-ins like chocolate chips, raspberries, or nuts.
3. Is cloud bread gluten-free?
Yes! This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low in carbs, making it great for keto-friendly diets.
4. Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, but thaw and drain them well before adding them to the batter to avoid excess moisture.
5. What can I serve with cloud bread?
This fluffy bread is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with:
- A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Greek yogurt and extra berries for a healthy breakfast.
- Almond butter or peanut butter for added protein.
