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.

In a bowl, combine egg yolks, cottage cheese, and baking powder.

The whites should stand straight when the beaters are lifted.

Be careful not to deflate the batter—fold until just combined.
