How to Make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the egg whites and yolks carefully into two different bowls.
Whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. (This is the key to that cloud-like texture!)
Blend the cottage cheese with the egg yolks until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk-cottage cheese mixture. Take your time — you want to keep all that lovely air!
Scoop the batter onto your prepared baking sheet into small rounds.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden and slightly firm to the touch.
Cool slightly before serving. (The smell when this is in the oven is incredible!!)

What to Serve with Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

Smeared with avocado and a sprinkle of chili flakes
Topped with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries
Sandwiched around turkey and cheese for a light lunch
Dipped into soups and stews (heavenly!)

Tips for Making the Best Cloud Bread

Beat your egg whites until stiff peaks form. No shortcuts here!
Gently fold — don’t stir aggressively or you’ll deflate the batter.
Use parchment paper — trust me, you don’t want sticky cloud bread.
Serve fresh! These are best eaten the day they’re made, though I have some storing tips below if you need them.

I’m kicking myself for not having shot a video the first time I made these — they were puffed up like little clouds!

How to Store Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

Short-term: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Long-term: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the toaster oven for best texture.
Freezing: Yes! Freeze between layers of parchment paper for up to a month. Reheat straight from frozen!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make this dairy-free?

You can try swapping cottage cheese for dairy-free Greek-style yogurt, but the texture will be slightly different. Still tasty though!

Why did my cloud bread deflate?

It’s normal for them to deflate a little as they cool, but if they went totally flat, your egg whites may not have been whipped enough or you overmixed them into the yolk mixture.

Is it okay if my batter is a little lumpy?

Absolutely! A few small lumps of cottage cheese are fine and actually add to the texture!

Can I add flavors?

YES! Sweeten them with stevia and vanilla for dessert or add savory herbs, spices, or even grated cheese.
