What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)
Eggs – Separated to create a fluffy meringue base.
Full-fat cottage cheese – Adds richness and protein; blended smooth for creaminess.
Cornstarch – Helps give the bread structure and soft texture.
Cream of tartar – Essential for stabilizing the whipped egg whites.
Powdered sweetener – Optional, but adds a gentle sweetness.
Vanilla & lemon zest – Optional flavor enhancers for a fresh, fragrant touch.
Fresh blueberries – The star ingredient! Juicy and slightly tart.
Pro Tips Before You Start
Drain your cottage cheese well before blending—it prevents sogginess.
Use clean, dry bowls for egg whites—any oil or yolk will prevent whipping.
Gently fold the batter—preserving the air is key to fluffiness.
Don’t overbake—watch for golden edges and slight firmness.
Let them cool—they’ll firm up as they rest, so be patient.
How to Make Blueberry Cloud Bread
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Drain and Blend the Cottage Cheese
Tilt the container to drain any excess liquid or use a fine-mesh strainer.
Blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy using a food processor or immersion blender.
Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
This step builds the airy base of the cloud bread.
Step 4: Mix the Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, cornstarch, sweetener (if using), vanilla, and lemon zest until well combined.
Step 5: Fold the Batter
Carefully fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites.
Use a spatula and go slowly to maintain the fluffy texture.
Step 6: Add Blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries, making sure they’re evenly distributed without deflating the batter.
Step 7: Scoop and Shape
Spoon the batter onto your prepared baking sheet using a ¼ cup measure.
Leave space between each round—they’ll spread slightly.
Step 8: Bake and Cool
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and slightly firm.
Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
What to Serve It With
A dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream.
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
Enjoy with a cup of tea or iced coffee.
Pair with scrambled eggs for a protein-packed breakfast.
Variations / Substitutions
Berry swap – Try raspberries or chopped strawberries.
Add cinnamon – A pinch adds warmth and spice.
Make it savory – Skip sweetener and berries; add herbs or shredded cheese.
Dairy-free? – Try dairy-free cream cheese alternatives, but check consistency.
Extra protein – Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder (reduce cornstarch slightly).
Storage & Leftovers
Fridge – Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer – Wrap individually and freeze up to 2 weeks. Reheat in oven or toaster.
Best texture – Warm gently before serving to bring back softness.
