Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk cottage cheese or cream cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks, cottage cheese (or cream cheese), and artificial sweetener until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites.
  5. Step 5: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in small rounds.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and puffed.
  7. Step 7: Let cool before removing from the baking sheet and serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For a savory twist, omit the sweetener and add herbs or spices like garlic powder or rosemary to the batter.
  • Use cream cheese instead of cottage cheese for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Ensure egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for maximum fluffiness.

Storage

Store leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster or oven to restore some of the softness and fluffiness.

How to Serve

The image shows a golden, braided loaf of bread placed on a wooden board, with three thick slices cut from it. The top layer of the bread is shiny and brown with a braided texture that looks soft and fluffy inside. The slices reveal a creamy white inner part with a smooth and slightly dense texture. The bread's crust is darker at the bottom, contrasting with the light cream color of the inside, and the whole setup is on a white marbled surface with a hint of a red and white cloth beneath the board.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of artificial sweetener?

Yes, but keep in mind this will increase the carb content and is not suitable for strict keto diets.

What can I use if I don’t have cream of tartar?

You can substitute cream of tartar with an equal amount of lemon juice or white vinegar to help stabilize the egg whites.
