# Ingredients:
For the cloud bread
01 -
3 large eggs, separated
02 -
1 cup (225 g) full-fat cottage cheese, blended smooth
03 -
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
04 -
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
05 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
06 -
1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning, optional for topping
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Place egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and yolks in a second bowl. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites.
03 -
Blend the cottage cheese until smooth, then mix it with the egg yolks, salt, and garlic powder if using.
04 -
Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer until glossy stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
05 -
Fold the cottage cheese mixture into the whipped whites in three additions. Use a spatula and keep the batter as airy as possible.
06 -
Spoon the batter into 8 rounds on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if using. Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed, set, and lightly golden.
07 -
Let the cloud bread cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then move gently to a rack. Cool fully before stacking or using for sandwiches.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best texture comes from full-fat cottage cheese blended completely smooth.
02 -
Bake immediately after folding so the batter keeps its lift.
03 -
Makes about 8 cloud bread rounds.
