Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • a pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully. Using a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, meaning they hold their shape when the whisk is lifted. This step creates the essential cloud-like lift for the bread.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Flavorings: In a separate bowl, blend the cottage cheese with vanilla extract (if using) and a pinch of salt until smooth. This mixture adds moisture and a subtle tang to balance the bread’s sweetness.
  3. Gently Fold Ingredients Together: Slowly fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the air bubbles. Once combined, sprinkle in the baking powder and gently fold in the fresh blueberries for even distribution throughout the batter.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter into a parchment-lined loaf pan or shape it on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 25-30 minutes until the bread is golden and set. Allow it to cool slightly before removing from the pan to maintain its soft, cloud-like texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality cottage cheese and blueberries for best flavor and texture.
  • Gently fold the batter to avoid deflating the whipped egg whites and keep the bread fluffy.
  • Ensure no yolk is mixed with the egg whites for optimal stiff peak formation.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better volume when whipping.
  • Check the bread a few minutes before baking time ends to avoid dryness.
  • Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to prevent crumbling.
