Updated on 3 min read

Quick Description

This Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread is soft, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth light. Made with whipped egg whites, creamy cottage cheese, and bursts of juicy blueberries, it bakes into a cloud-like bread that’s gently sweet and beautifully golden at the edges. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a light dessert.

Servings & Timing

Serves: 6–8 cloud rounds
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 25–30 minutes
Total Time: ~40 minutes

Ingredients List

The Foundation

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • ½ cup cottage cheese (small curd, 2% or 4%)
  • 2 tbsp honey

The Fruit & Lift

  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar (optional, helps stabilize egg whites)

Optional Flavor Add-Ins

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Blend the Base
    In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese, egg yolks, honey, vanilla (if using), and salt until completely smooth.
  3. Whip the Egg Whites
    In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Add Lift
    Gently fold baking powder into the cottage cheese mixture.
  5. Fold Carefully
    Fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture in 2–3 additions, using gentle strokes to keep the batter airy.
  6. Add Blueberries
    Gently fold in blueberries.
  7. Shape & Bake
    Spoon batter into cloud-shaped rounds on the baking sheet.
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, until lightly golden and set.
  8. Cool & Serve
    Allow to cool slightly before serving. Cloud bread will firm up as it cools.
