Ingredients
Scale
Egg Whites Mixture
- 3 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
Egg Yolks Mixture
- 3 large egg yolks
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
Topping
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 300F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Beat Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat them with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy foam.
- Mix Egg Yolks and Other Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cornstarch, salt, and honey until smooth and well combined.
- Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula. Use gentle motions to keep the batter light and maintain the airiness without overmixing.
- Shape Cloud Breads: Scoop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into round cloud-like forms. Top each with fresh blueberries for a burst of flavor.
- Bake: Bake the cloud breads in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until they turn golden and set firmly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the breads cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, optionally spread with butter for added richness.
