4 large eggs, separated

1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 -
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
08 -
1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp almond extract
10 -
1 tbsp granulated sugar
→ Zesty Finish
11 -
1/2 tsp lemon zest
12 -
1 tbsp powdered sugar, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures your Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread | High Protein won't stick and bakes evenly, allowing for easy removal.
02 -
In a food processor or blender, combine 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese, 4 egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp almond extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
03 -
In a very clean, separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the 4 egg whites with 1/2 tsp cream of tartar and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt. Continue whipping until stiff, glossy peaks form that hold their shape when the beaters are lifted.
04 -
Gently fold the blended cottage cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the air. Then, gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries and 1 tbsp granulated sugar. This forms the airy base for your Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread | High Protein.
05 -
Spoon the cloud bread mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 4 distinct, cloud-like mounds. Leave some space between each. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown, puffed, and set. This creates the signature texture of Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread | High Protein.
06 -
Carefully transfer the baked cloud bread to a wire rack to cool slightly. Just before serving, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp lemon zest and 1 tbsp powdered sugar for a beautiful finish. Enjoy your delicious Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread | High Protein!
# Notes:
01 -
For the best stiff peaks, ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and grease-free before whipping the egg whites.
02 -
Store leftover Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat gently for best texture.
03 -
Feel free to substitute the blueberries with other berries like raspberries or chopped strawberries. For an extra citrusy kick, you can add more lemon zest to the batter.
04 -
This high-protein cloud bread is delicious on its own, but also pairs wonderfully with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey, or a side of fresh fruit.
