# Ingredients:
→ Cloud Bread Base
01 -
4 large egg whites
02 -
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
→ Flavor & Sweetness
03 -
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Structure & Fruit
05 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch
06 -
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, get that oven preheating to 300°F (150°C). While it's warming up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is non-negotiable, trust me! I once tried to grease it instead, and the cloud bread stuck like glue. Parchment paper ensures an easy lift-off for your beautiful cloud bread.
02 -
In a super clean, dry bowl (any grease and your whites won't whip!), beat your egg whites with an electric mixer until they start to get foamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. This is where the magic really starts! I always watch for that perfect shine; too little and it won't be fluffy, too much and it can get crumbly. Keep an eye on it!
03 -
In a separate bowl, blend the cottage cheese, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until it's super smooth. I usually use an immersion blender for this, or a food processor. You want absolutely no lumps here, hon! This is the creamy heart of your blueberry cloud bread, so make it silky. It should smell wonderfully sweet and inviting at this stage.
04 -
Now for the delicate part! Gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites. Use a spatula and a light hand, trying to keep as much air in those whites as possible. This is where I tend to get a bit too enthusiastic, oops! Just be patient, don't deflate all that lovely fluffiness you worked so hard for.
05 -
Carefully fold in your blueberries. I usually sprinkle them in a few at a time, giving them a gentle swirl. Don't overmix, or you'll have purple cloud bread, which, while pretty, isn't quite what we're going for! You want those distinct bursts of blue throughout your cloud bread.
06 -
Spoon the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 round "clouds." They'll spread a little, but not much. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until they're golden brown and feel firm to the touch. When they come out, they should smell sweet and a little tangy, and look like actual little clouds. Let them cool a bit before diving in!
# Notes:
01 -
Don't skip the cornstarch, it's my secret for that cloud-like texture.
02 -
Leftovers are great, but sometimes they lose a bit of their fluff. Reheat gently!
03 -
I've swapped blueberries for raspberries once; it worked, but blueberries are the classic here.
04 -
A drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt makes this extra special.
