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.
