Easy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

Easy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread always reminds me of the first time I wanted to surprise my family with a fun, fluffy treat for breakfast because I had a container of cottage cheese waiting in the fridge however I didn’t expect it to transform into something so light and dreamy also as I pulled the golden puffs out of the oven while my family gathered around curiously plus everyone’s eyes lit up at the first bite and we all agreed it felt like eating a soft cloud on a sunny morning

As I whisk the eggs and fold in the creamy cottage cheese meanwhile I feel like I’m creating a little bit of magic in the kitchen also I love how these breads puff up beautifully and turn golden and airy plus they are so versatile and can be enjoyed with sweet or savory toppings and now they’ve become a beloved weekend tradition that brings extra joy to our mornings

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Cottage cheese – Adds creaminess and a protein boost while keeping the bread fluffy.
• Eggs – Provide structure and help the bread rise into a soft, airy texture.
• Cream of tartar – Stabilizes the egg whites to create that signature cloud-like lift.
• Salt – Enhances the overall flavor and balances the cottage cheese.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls – To separate and beat the egg whites and yolks.
• Hand mixer or stand mixer – For whipping the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
• Spatula – To gently fold the mixture without deflating it.
• Baking sheet – To bake the cloud bread rounds.
• Parchment paper – Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
• Spoon – To shape the bread rounds on the baking sheet.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the eggs

I start by separating the egg whites and yolks into two clean bowls. I make sure no yolk gets into the whites to help them whip properly.

Step 2: Beat the egg whites

I add cream of tartar and a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Using a hand mixer, I beat them until stiff peaks form and the mixture looks glossy.

Step 3: Mix the yolk base

In the other bowl, I mix the cottage cheese with the egg yolks until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Fold the mixtures

I gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the fluffy whites. I stop as soon as everything is combined.

Step 5: Shape the rounds

I line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon the mixture into round, fluffy mounds. I leave a little space between each one.

Step 6: Bake

I bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 25–30 minutes, until golden and set.

Step 7: Cool and serve

I let the cloud bread cool slightly before serving. They’re delicious warm or at room temperature.

Tips

If you want a sweet version, I sometimes add a bit of honey or vanilla to the yolk mixture. For a savory twist, a sprinkle of herbs or cheese works wonderfully. Make sure to fold gently to keep that airy texture intact!

Ways to Serve

I love serving them with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey for a sweet breakfast or with avocado and smoked salmon for a savory option. They also make a great low-carb sandwich base or a fun snack with your favorite spreads.
