Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup (120g) cottage cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Seasonings and Variations

  • Herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano (to taste)
  • Shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese (1/4 cup) for cheesy upgrade
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes for a spicy kick
  • Plant-based cottage cheese alternative (e.g., almond ricotta) for dairy-free version
  • Cinnamon and stevia for a sweet variation

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and the yolks in another bowl. Blend the cottage cheese with the egg yolks until smooth to create a creamy base.
  2. Whisk Egg Whites: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, glossy peaks form. This is essential for the fluffy cloud-like texture.
  3. Combine Mixtures Gently: Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese and yolk mixture using a spatula. Use gentle motions to retain the air in the batter, maintaining a light texture.
  4. Shape the Bread: Spoon and gently spread the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. You can form even, round shapes or spread it into a rectangular sheet if you prefer slices later.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the tops are golden and the bread feels set when touched. Allow the bread to cool completely before removing it from the baking sheet to preserve its delicate structure.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for better whipped volume and fluffiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; fold egg whites gently to maintain airiness.
  • If your cottage cheese is watery, drain it slightly for better texture.
  • Maintain consistent oven temperature and avoid opening the oven door frequently.
  • Cool the bread fully on a wire rack to prevent sogginess from condensation.
