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

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

Cloud Bread

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

Prepare Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully, placing the whites in a clean mixing bowl. Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat them vigorously using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Mix Egg Yolks and Cheese: In a separate bowl, blend the egg yolks with the cottage cheese (or cream cheese) and the artificial sweetener if using. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the egg yolk and cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites. Use a spatula to combine carefully to maintain the airy texture, avoiding deflating the egg whites.
Spoon Batter onto Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the batter into small rounds about 3-4 inches in diameter, shaping them nicely and keeping even spacing.
Bake the Cloud Bread: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the cloud bread rounds for 25 to 30 minutes or until they turn golden on the top and are set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

The artificial sweetener is optional and can be omitted if you prefer savory bread.
Ensure egg whites are whipped until stiff peaks form to achieve maximum fluffiness.
Cool cloud bread completely before slicing or serving to help maintain structure.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
