Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (helps stabilize egg whites)
- ⅓ cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed & patted dry)
Optional Add-ins:
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest (for a citrusy touch)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (for warmth)
- 1 tablespoon almond flour (for a slightly denser texture)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a loaf pan if making a traditional bread shape.
Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Whip until stiff peaks form (this should take about 3-4 minutes). The mixture should be fluffy and hold its shape when lifted.
Step 3: Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture
- In another bowl, mix together the blended cottage cheese, egg yolks, vanilla extract, honey (if using), salt, and optional lemon zest or cinnamon.
- Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Fold the Mixtures Together
- Gently fold the egg white mixture into the cottage cheese mixture, a little at a time. Be careful not to overmix—you want to keep as much air in the batter as possible for a fluffy texture.
- Carefully fold in the blueberries, distributing them evenly.
Step 5: Shape & Bake
- Spoon the batter onto the lined baking sheet in small round mounds (for cloud bread rolls) or spread it into a loaf pan for a larger bread shape.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and slightly firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing—it will be delicate when hot but sets as it cools.
Notes
- Blending the cottage cheese helps create a smooth texture without lumps.
- Don’t overmix when folding in the egg whites—this keeps the bread light and airy.
- Fresh blueberries work best, but if using frozen, thaw and pat dry to prevent excess moisture.
- For a crispier crust, turn off the oven and let the bread sit inside with the door slightly open for 10 minutes after baking.
