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

I start by preheating my oven to 300°F (150°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Then, I separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
I beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This step gives the cloud bread its airy structure.
In the other bowl, I mix the egg yolks, cottage cheese, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
I gently fold the egg white mixture into the cottage cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the fluffiness.
I spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet into small rounds.
I top each with a few blueberries, gently pressing them in so they stay in place.
I bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the bread is set.
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.
