Instructions
How to Make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread
Step 1: Preheat Oven & Prep Baking Sheet
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, combine egg yolks, cottage cheese, and baking powder.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites (and salt if using) with a mixer until stiff peaks form.
The whites should stand straight when the beaters are lifted.
Step 4: Fold & Combine
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture in batches.
Be careful not to deflate the batter—fold until just combined.
Step 5: Shape and Bake
Spoon the batter onto the baking sheet in even rounds (like burger bun size).
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and set.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy warm or store for later!
