Easy Cloud Bread with Cottage Cheese offers a light, fluffy, and protein-packed alternative to traditional bread. Made by blending cottage cheese with whipped egg whites, this low-carb, gluten-free recipe is versatile for sweet or savory options and perfect as a high-protein bread swap.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (4% fat)
  • 3 large eggs, separated

Optional Ingredients

  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¼ teaspoon sweetener such as monk fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking. If your cottage cheese is lumpy, blend it using an immersion blender or food processor until smooth.
  2. Mix Egg Yolks and Cottage Cheese: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the blended cottage cheese. If you prefer a slightly sweet bread, add the sweetener now and mix well.
  3. Beat Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar (optional but recommended) until stiff peaks form. This step is critical as the stiff egg whites give the bread its signature fluffiness and volume.
  4. Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the cottage cheese and yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula to combine them with care to keep the mixture airy and light.
  5. Shape the Rounds: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheets into 10 rounds, about ⅓ cup each. Shape each into approximately 5 inches wide and ¾ inch thick rounds for even baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the rounds for about 30 minutes until golden brown and set. Flip the pans halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. If needed, use two baking sheets or bake in two batches.
  7. Cool and Store: Let the cloud bread rounds cool completely. Initially, they will be crisp and crumbly, but storing them overnight in a Ziplock plastic bag will make them soft and fluffy, ideal for sandwiches or mini tortillas. Enjoy your versatile cloud bread!

Notes

  • The cream of tartar is optional but helps stabilize egg whites for better volume.
  • Blending the cottage cheese ensures a smooth texture without lumps.
  • Sweetener is optional; omit for savory versions.
  • Store cloud bread rounds in an airtight bag overnight for softer texture.
  • Use two baking sheets or bake in batches to avoid overcrowding.
