Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons small-curd cottage cheese
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Separate eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing whites in one clean bowl and yolks in another.
- Beat egg whites: Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites along with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for giving the bread its airy texture.
- Blend yolks and cottage cheese: In a separate bowl, blend the egg yolks and small-curd cottage cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold egg whites into yolk mixture: Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese and yolk blend, being careful not to deflate the whites. This ensures a light, fluffy batter.
- Spoon batter onto baking sheet: Dollop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into circles of your desired size.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the cloud breads are puffed, set, and golden brown on top. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use small-curd cottage cheese for a smoother texture in the batter.
- Be careful when folding in the egg whites to maintain their volume for a light bread.
- This bread is best eaten fresh but can be stored refrigerated and lightly toasted before use.
- You can add herbs or spices to the yolk mixture for added flavor variations.
- Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before beating for maximum volume.
