Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Blend Cottage Cheese: Blend the full-fat cottage cheese until it is completely smooth to create a creamy base for the batter.
Beat Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, ensuring the mixture is airy and will give the bread its signature fluffiness.
Mix Yolks and Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, cornstarch, and any optional ingredients such as powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, or lemon zest. Mix until just combined.
Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites to keep the airiness intact, then carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly without deflating the batter.
Scoop Batter: Using a spoon, scoop the batter onto the baking sheet, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cloud breads are golden brown and set.
Cool: Allow the cloud bread to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely and avoid sogginess.

Notes

Ensure egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for the best fluffy texture.
You can substitute powdered sweetener with honey or sugar if preferred, adjusting sweetness to taste.
Store baked cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
These make a great gluten-free, low-carb bread alternative suitable for snacking or serving with toppings.
Be gentle when folding ingredients to preserve the airy structure of the batter.
