Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread with Blueberries Recipe
Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread is a light, airy, and fluffy bread alternative made primarily with eggs and blended cottage cheese. Enhanced with a touch of vanilla and honey, and topped with fresh blueberries, this recipe yields a delicate, low-carb bread perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. The bread’s cloud-like texture is achieved by carefully folding whipped egg whites into a creamy batter, then baking at a low temperature to set the structure without browning too quickly.

Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
Dairy
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended)
Toppings
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the bread clouds.
- Beat Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, add the egg whites along with the cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form. This will give the bread its airy structure.
- Prepare Yolks Mixture: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cornstarch, salt, and honey until smooth and evenly combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Take care not to overmix, as maintaining the airiness is essential for the texture of the cloud bread.
- Shape the Bread Clouds: Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet to form individual bread shapes. Then, top each with fresh blueberries to add bursts of flavor and color.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the bread sets and attains a golden color on top.
- Cool: Once baked, let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or to serve warm.
- Serve: Enjoy the bread warm. Optionally, spread a little butter on top for extra flavor and richness.
Notes
- Be careful when folding the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites to preserve as much air as possible.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or a sugar-free sweetener to reduce sugars.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and flavor.
- These breads are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- If you prefer, omit blueberries or replace with other berries or nuts.
