Ingredients
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1 cup (220g) full-fat cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites and yolks, placing the whites in a large, clean bowl and the yolks in a separate small bowl.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on high speed until they form stiff, glossy peaks. This step is crucial, as the whipped egg whites are what give the Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread its signature light and airy texture.
- Mix the Cottage Cheese and Yolks: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese and egg yolks. Use a whisk or a fork to mix them together until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the cottage cheese and yolk mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough texture.
- Fold in the Whipped Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites. Fold in just until no visible streaks of white remain.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small, round mounds with a spoon. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the light, fluffy, and irresistible result of your hard work!
