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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and yolks in another.
- Mix Yolks and Cheese: Add cottage cheese (or cream cheese) and artificial sweetener to the yolks, then whisk well until you get a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Beat Egg Whites: Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat them using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This process usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites in batches, using a spatula to preserve as much air as possible, creating a fluffy batter.
- Spoon Batter onto Baking Sheet: Using a spoon or a scoop, form rounds of the batter on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow expansion.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cloud bread is golden and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy as a low-carb bread alternative immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For cream cheese substitute, ensure it is softened to mix smoothly.
- Use fresh eggs for best results to achieve a better rise and texture.
- You can omit the artificial sweetener if you prefer a savory bread.
- Store leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat lightly in a toaster or oven to restore fluffiness.
