Welcome to Devour Dish! Make this light and airy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread. It is a high-protein, low-carb, and gluten-free bread replacement perfect for sandwiches or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, for extra stability)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cottage cheese and egg yolks into a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. In a separate, clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar (if using) until stiff peaks form. You want the whites to hold their shape firmly.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture to lighten it.
  5. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, working gently to keep as much air in the mixture as possible. Do not overmix; stop when no white streaks remain.
  6. Spoon six equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently shape them into round, flat bread shapes.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown and the bread feels set.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before handling. These are best used immediately as a sandwich bread replacement.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use full-fat cottage cheese, but low-fat works if you prefer.
  • Ensure your bowl for whipping egg whites is completely free of grease or water for maximum volume.
  • This recipe makes a great keto bread alternative for lunch sandwiches.
  • You can add garlic powder or dried herbs to the cottage cheese mixture for a savory cloud bread snack.
