Ingredients
Scale
Egg Whites Mixture
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
Egg Yolk Mixture
- 3 large egg yolks
- ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 tbsp almond flour (optional)
- 1 tbsp coconut flour (optional)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
Topping
- Sesame seeds or fresh herbs for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing them into two separate clean bowls.
- Whip Egg Whites: Using a mixer, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, indicating the whites hold shape firmly.
- Mix Egg Yolk Batter: In another bowl, combine the egg yolks with cottage cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil or melted butter. Mix until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula. Be careful to retain as much air as possible for the fluffiness.
- Form Rounds: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape them into round discs, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cloud breads turn golden brown on top.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Allow the breads to cool completely before serving to maintain their texture.
Notes
- For best results, ensure no yolk gets into the egg whites to help them whip properly.
- Almond and coconut flours are optional but add texture and structure; you can omit them for a lighter result.
- Use fresh eggs for optimal volume and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently before serving to regain softness.
