Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Optional Herbs or Spices

  • Fresh chopped parsley
  • Thyme
  • Rosemary
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Chili flakes or cayenne pepper (for spicy kick)
  • Cinnamon and honey (for sweet version)

Optional Add-ins

  • Shredded cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese
  • Plant-based cottage cheese alternatives and flaxseed meal (for vegan version)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Blend the Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, achieving a cloud-like consistency.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the baking powder and salt. If using optional herbs or spices, mix them in now carefully to distribute the flavor without deflating the mixture.
  4. Scoop and Shape: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them apart to give room for rising and spreading.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the bread puffs up and turns a delicate golden brown. Avoid opening the oven early to maintain fluffiness.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cloud bread to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes to firm up slightly before slicing or serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese to maintain moisture and richness.
  • For extra fluffiness, separate eggs and whip the whites until stiff peaks form before folding them in gently.
  • Do not overmix the batter to preserve the airy texture.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Cool completely before slicing to avoid squishing and to keep the texture fluffy.
