Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.
- Step 2: Separate the eggs into whites and yolks. Place the whites in a clean bowl and beat them with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Step 3: Gently fold the egg yolks and blended cottage cheese into the beaten egg whites, being careful to maintain the airy texture.

Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add herbs like chives or garlic powder into the batter before baking.

- If you don’t have cream of tartar, a few drops of lemon juice or white vinegar can be used to stabilize the egg whites.
Storage
Store the cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a toaster or oven to restore its fluffiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the texture rubbery.
