Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Eggs
01 -
3 large eggs, separated, room temperature
→ Dairy
02 -
120 ml (½ cup) cottage cheese, blended until smooth
→ Leavening and Stabilizers
03 -
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
→ Seasonings and Thickeners
04 -
½ teaspoon salt
05 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
06 -
1 teaspoon honey or sweetener
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 150°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the eggs into two clean bowls, one for the whites and one for the yolks.
02 -
Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the whites until stiff peaks form, ensuring they hold firm for a fluffy texture.
03 -
Combine egg yolks with smooth cottage cheese, salt, cornstarch (or arrowroot powder), and honey (or sweetener). Mix until the batter is homogeneous.
04 -
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds, taking care not to deflate the air incorporated to retain lightness.
05 -
Spoon the batter onto the lined baking sheet, forming 6 to 8 evenly sized rounds. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the cloud bread is golden and set.
06 -
Allow the cloud bread to cool completely on the baking sheet to maintain structure before removing and serving.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Use eggs at room temperature to achieve better volume when whipping whites. Blend cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps. Fold mixtures gently to maintain fluffiness. Cream of tartar stabilizes egg whites effectively.
