Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cloud Breads
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth) Provides protein and moisture.
  • 3 large eggs (separated) Yolks provide structure and lift.
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup Optional for sweetness.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds flavor.
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder Stabilizes the batter.
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries For sweetness and texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, add the egg whites, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp baking powder. Beat until glossy, stiff peaks form, about 3–5 minutes with a hand mixer.
  3. In a blender, combine blended cottage cheese, egg yolks, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla, and cornstarch. Blend until completely smooth and thick.
  4. Fold a third of the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, then gently fold in remaining whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries or scatter them on top after scooping.
  6. Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to place rounds of batter on the prepared baking sheet, leaving room for expansion.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the tops are light golden and springy when pressed. A toothpick should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let the rounds cool on the sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a rack.

Notes

Handle the egg whites with care, ensuring they are beaten to stiff peaks for the best lift. Variations include omitting blueberries for plain rounds or swapping out ingredients based on preference.
