I discovered this low carb breakfast bread when I was looking for a guilt-free way to enjoy my sandwiches without all the carbs of the traditional kind.

This recipe combines the magic of 3 large eggs, separated into yolks and whites, with the tang of 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese to create a soft, airy texture that melts in your mouth. A hint of flavor comes from 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, while a pinch of salt balances everything perfectly.

FAQ

A: You can but the texture might not be as creamy and the bread may not be as fluffy as when using full-fat cottage cheese.

A: The edges should be lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly dry. Dont overbake it!

A: Yeah, you can stir in a pinch of dried rosemary, garlic powder or even chives into the yolk mixture before folding in the whites.

A: Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. If it gets a bit dry, just reheat it in the toaster or microwave.

A: Not really, because the yolks along with the cottage cheese create the rich texture. Using only whites would change the flavor and consistency a lot.

Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread Recipe Substitutions and Variations

  • Eggs: You can use aquafaba instead of egg whites in a pinch; just use 3 tablespoons of aquafaba to replace 1 egg white, but it might not whip the same way.
  • Cottage Cheese: Try using ricotta cheese or even full-fat Greek yogurt if you’re lacking cottage cheese; note that the texture might be a bit different.
  • Cream of Tartar: You can swap it with a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar; about 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar turns into roughly 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice.
  • Baking Powder: If you dont have baking powder, you might mix 1/8 teaspoon baking soda with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar as a substitute, but results can vary.
  • Salt: You might use sea salt or even kosher salt instead of regular table salt; just remember the measurements might need a tiny adjustment.

Pro Tips

1. Always use eggs at room temperature cuz they whip up way easier then cold ones which can mess up your fluffy texture.
2. Make absolutely sure your bowl and beaters is super clean before whipping your egg whites, even a little grease could stop them from forming stiff peaks.
3. When you fold the whipped egg whites into your yolk mixture, do it gently with a spatula so you dont lose the air you worked hard to mix in.
4. Keep an eye on your baking time since ovens run differently sometimes and you dont want to overbake your cloud bread.
5. Let your bread cool for a few minutes after taking out of the oven, it helps firm up the texture and makes it easier to enjoy.
