Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (helps the egg whites whip up firm)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Optional: a sprinkle of lemon zest for brightness!
Necessary Tools for Preparation
- Large mixing bowls (one for egg whites, one for yolk mixture)
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Rubber spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Measuring cups and spoons
Possible Ingredient Additions and Substitutions
I promised you versatile, and here’s proof!
- Swap blueberries for raspberries, chopped strawberries, or even chocolate chips for a dessert version!
- Add-ins: Try a teaspoon of cinnamon or a few drops of almond extract.
- Cottage cheese substitute: Greek yogurt can be used, though the texture will be a little different — still delicious!
- Sweetener: Feel free to leave it out for a more savory version or use your favorite sugar substitute.
How to Make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the eggs. Place the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
- Mix the yolks. Blend the cottage cheese, yolks, honey (if using), vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Beat the whites. Using a mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form — this will give you that magical fluffiness!
- Fold gently. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, keeping as much air in the batter as possible.
- Add blueberries. Gently stir in the blueberries (and lemon zest if using), being careful not to overmix.
- Scoop and bake. Drop large spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Cool slightly. Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
The smell when this is in the oven is incredible!!
What to Serve with Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread
- A dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt
- A drizzle of honey

Tips for Making the Best Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread
- Don’t overmix the batter — it’s the key to keeping everything light and airy.
- Use fresh blueberries if possible to avoid extra moisture, but if you use frozen, toss them lightly in flour before folding in.
- Let them cool slightly before lifting off the baking sheet — they firm up a bit as they cool.
Storage Instructions
Store your cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They’re best fresh but can be lightly reheated in the toaster or oven (not the microwave — they’ll get rubbery!).
You can also freeze them! Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to 1 month. Reheat gently in the oven for best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Just toss them in a little flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking or making the mixture watery.
Can I make this dairy-free?
You can try using a thick dairy-free yogurt alternative, but the flavor and texture will change slightly. Still tasty!
Why is my cloud bread not fluffy?
Make sure your egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks and gently folded into the mixture. That’s the secret to cloud-like texture!
Can I make these savory instead of sweet?
Absolutely! Skip the honey and blueberries, and maybe add some chopped herbs or shredded cheese instead.
