# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 150°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 -
Carefully separate eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Ensure egg whites are completely free of yolk.
03 -
Add cream of tartar to egg whites. Using an electric mixer, whip on high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-5 minutes.
04 -
In the bowl with egg yolks, combine cottage cheese, baking powder, almond flour (if using), salt, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
05 -
Gently fold whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula. Maintain air in the egg whites by folding just until combined, avoiding overmixing.
06 -
Scoop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 round discs with space between each for slight spreading during baking.
07 -
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. Test doneness by gently tapping the tops.
08 -
Allow cloud bread to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
# Notes:
01 -
This cloud bread is exceptionally light and airy with a neutral flavor profile that works well for both sweet and savory applications.
02 -
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning.
