Ingredients Notes

The secret to this perfect cloud bread lies in its carefully chosen ingredients. Each one plays a crucial role in creating the ultimate soft and fluffy texture.

Egg whites form the foundation of this bread. When whipped to stiff peaks, they create the structure and airy texture that makes cloud bread so light. Be sure to use fresh eggs for the best results.

Cottage cheese adds richness and extra fluffiness. It also provides a subtle tang that balances the sweetness of the blueberries. Opt for full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese, depending on your preference.

Blueberries bring natural sweetness and a pop of flavor. Fresh blueberries work best, but if using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them well to prevent excess moisture from affecting the texture.

A touch of honey or a low-carb sweetener enhances the flavor without overpowering the delicate taste of the bread. Feel free to adjust the sweetness to suit your preference.

You'll also need a pinch of cream of tartar to help stabilize the whipped egg whites, ensuring they hold their shape while baking.

For this recipe, having a stand mixer or hand mixer will make whipping the egg whites much easier, resulting in the perfect fluffy consistency.

How To Make This Blueberry Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

Making this cloud bread is easier than you think, and the process is just as satisfying as the final result.

Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Meanwhile, separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites.

In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial, as the volume created here is what gives the bread its signature airy texture. When the egg whites hold their shape and don’t slide around when you tilt the bowl, they’re ready.

In another bowl, blend the cottage cheese with your sweetener of choice until smooth. You can use a blender or simply mash it well with a fork. Gently fold this mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate them.

Next, carefully fold in the blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed. Try not to overmix, as this can cause the batter to lose its fluffiness.

Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round loaf or individual portions as desired. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and feels slightly firm to the touch.

Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. The texture will be soft and cloud-like, with delicious pockets of juicy blueberries in every bite.

Storage Options

This cloud bread is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers to enjoy later.

For short-term storage, keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you live in a humid climate, it’s best to refrigerate it to maintain its texture.

To store for a longer period, place it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to four days. Be sure to let it cool completely before refrigerating to avoid condensation that could make it soggy.

If you'd like to keep it even longer, freeze individual slices in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before eating.

For reheating, warm it in a toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds to bring back its softness and fluffiness.

Variations and Substitutions

This recipe is wonderfully adaptable, so feel free to experiment with different flavors and ingredients.

Try swapping blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries for a new fruity twist. Each berry will bring its own unique sweetness and tanginess to the bread.

If you prefer a savory version, skip the sweetener and fruit and add a pinch of salt, fresh herbs, or even shredded cheese. This makes for a great low-carb alternative to traditional sandwich bread.

For a richer taste, substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese. This will give the bread a slightly different texture but still keep it creamy and delicious.

Want an extra hint of warmth? A dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract can enhance the overall flavor, making it even more irresistible.

Whether you stick to the original recipe or put your own spin on it, this cloud bread is a fun and delicious way to enjoy a light and fluffy treat. Let me know how you customize yours!
