Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 3 large eggs, separated
Dairy
- 3 tablespoons whole milk cottage cheese or cream cheese
Other
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Separate the eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a clean, dry bowl and the yolks in another bowl.
- Mix the yolks and cheese: To the bowl with egg yolks, add the cottage cheese or cream cheese and the artificial sweetener if using. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Beat the egg whites: Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the whites until stiff peaks form. This will give your cloud bread its fluffiness.
- Combine mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whites to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Scoop the batter: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 even rounds or desired shapes.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown and set.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cloud bread from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy as a keto-friendly bread substitute.
Notes
- Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for best results.
- Use whole milk cottage cheese or cream cheese for a creamy texture.
