COTTAGE CHEESE CLOUD BREAD is a quick lowcarb treat youll crave daily soft airy and easy to bake Great for busy mornings Great for quick meals
Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cottage cheese, blended until smooth
4 oz cream cheese, softened
6 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch pepper or garlic powder (optional)
1–2 tablespoons fresh herbs or 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it to ensure easy release. This lower heat helps maintain a tender crumb while the exterior browns gently.
- In a blender, combine the blended cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, egg yolks, salt, and any optional flavorings. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- In a separate, clean bowl, whip the egg whites with the baking powder (and a pinch of cream of tartar if you have it) until you achieve stiff, glossy peaks.
- Gently fold a third of the whipped whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whites in two additions, taking care to preserve as much air as possible.
- Drop the batter onto the prepared sheet as 6 to 8 evenly spaced mounds. Gently flatten each mound into discs about 2-1/2 inches wide and 1/3 inch high.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are soft to the touch. The tops should be lightly golden.
- Let the cloud breads cool on the sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Toast briefly before serving if desired.
- Optional finishing touches: top with avocado, smoked salmon, tomato, or Greek yogurt and herbs; assemble mini sandwiches as desired.
