Description
Light, airy, and protein-packed cloud bread made with cottage cheese for a perfect low-carb snack or sandwich alternative.
Ingredients
3 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
3. In another bowl, blend the egg yolks, cottage cheese, honey or sugar (if using), and salt until smooth.
4. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate them.
5. Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in mounds, shaping into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cloud breads are golden and set.
7. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
For a savory twist, add garlic powder or herbs to the yolk mixture.
Blend the cottage cheese thoroughly for a smoother texture.
These cloud breads are great for low-carb sandwiches or as a light snack.
