Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how incredibly fluffy and light this cloud bread turns out, and the fact that it’s low-calorie makes it even better. It feels indulgent but fits perfectly into a balanced lifestyle. The blend of cottage cheese and eggs creates a high-protein base, while the blueberries add a naturally sweet, fruity contrast. Whether I’m watching my carbs or just want something easy and satisfying, this recipe hits the spot every time.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • Cottage cheese

  • Eggs

  • Cream of tartar (optional, but helps with fluffiness)

  • Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

  • Sweetener of choice (like stevia, erythritol, or honey – optional depending on taste)

  • Vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)

Directions

  1. I start by preheating my oven to 300°F (150°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Then, I separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.

  3. I beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This step gives the cloud bread its airy structure.

  4. In the other bowl, I mix the egg yolks, cottage cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  5. I gently fold the egg white mixture into the cottage cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the fluffiness.

  6. I spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet into small rounds.

  7. I top each with a few blueberries, gently pressing them in so they stay in place.

  8. I bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the bread is set.

  9. I let them cool on a wire rack before serving. They’ll firm up a bit as they cool.

Servings and timing

This recipe typically makes 6 cloud bread rounds. Each serving is around 60–80 calories depending on the amount of blueberries and sweetener added. I find it takes about 10 minutes of prep time and 25–30 minutes of baking, so it’s ready to enjoy in under 45 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes switch things up by adding a dash of cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter for extra flavor. For a savory twist, I skip the sweetener and blueberries and top the bread with herbs or cheese instead. If I want more sweetness, I drizzle a little sugar-free syrup on top after baking.

storage/reheating

Once cooled, I store the cloud bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage—just separate the pieces with parchment paper. When I want to reheat them, I pop them in a toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds to bring back the warmth and softness.

FAQs

What is cloud bread made of?

Cloud bread is typically made from eggs and a soft cheese like cottage cheese or cream cheese. It gets its fluffiness from whipped egg whites.

Is this recipe keto-friendly?

Yes, as long as I use a low-carb sweetener and keep the blueberries moderate, this recipe works great for keto diets.

Can I make it without cream of tartar?

Yes, I can skip the cream of tartar, but it does help the egg whites hold their shape better. A pinch of lemon juice can be a good alternative.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Absolutely. I just make sure to thaw and pat them dry before adding them to avoid excess moisture.

How do I keep cloud bread from deflating?

The key is to gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture and avoid over-mixing. Also, I let the bread cool fully before moving or stacking it.

Conclusion

This Low-Calorie Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread with Blueberries is a light, delicious way to enjoy a treat without overdoing it. I love how simple it is to make, and it’s easy to customize for sweet or savory cravings. Whether for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, this recipe is always a satisfying choice.
