Ingredients for Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven (Time: 2 minutes)
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Eggs (Time: 3 minutes)
Separate the eggs, placing the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another. Be careful not to let any yolk get into the whites, as this can affect the whipping process.
3. Beat the Egg Whites (Time: 4-5 minutes)
Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form. The whites should hold their shape and stand up when the beaters are lifted.
4. Mix the Yolks and Cottage Cheese (Time: 2 minutes)
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the cottage cheese, salt, and honey (if using). Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
5. Fold the Mixtures Together (Time: 2-3 minutes)
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula and fold slowly and carefully to maintain the airy texture of the egg whites. This is crucial to keeping the bread light and fluffy.
