Instructions

Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cloud bread does not stick and cooks evenly.
Prepare the cottage cheese: Drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese to prevent sogginess, then blend it until smooth to create a creamy texture that mixes well with the eggs.
Whip egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial to create the fluffy structure of the cloud bread.
Mix yolk mixture: In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks together with the blended cottage cheese, cornstarch, and any optional ingredients like powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until fully combined.
Fold mixtures together: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites to maintain the airiness of the egg whites and create a light batter.
Add blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly without deflating the batter.
Scoop onto baking sheet: Using a spoon, scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cloud bread apart to allow for even baking.
Bake and cool: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cloud breads are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving for best texture.

Notes

Make sure the egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks to achieve the best fluffiness.
Draining and blending the cottage cheese is important to avoid a watery texture.
Optional sweetener, vanilla, and lemon zest enhance flavor but can be omitted for a more neutral bread.
Gently folding helps keep the air in the batter, resulting in a lighter bread.
Serve this cloud bread fresh for best texture; store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 1-2 days.
