Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs, separated
- 50 grams (1.8 ounces) cottage cheese
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs
Instructions
- Carefully separate egg whites from yolks into two distinct mixing bowls, ensuring no yolk contamination in the whites.
- Whip egg whites with baking powder using an electric mixer until they form firm, glossy peaks that hold their shape when beater is lifted.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly blend cottage cheese with egg yolks until smooth and uniform in texture.
- Gently fold yolk mixture into whipped egg whites, maintaining the airiness by incorporating slowly and using delicate circular motions.
- Sprinkle salt and Italian herbs into the combined mixture, folding minimally to preserve the cloud-like volume.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and carefully spoon mixture into 6 evenly sized round shapes, ensuring consistent thickness.
- Place in preheated oven at 150C (300F) and bake for approximately 20 minutes, watching closely after 15 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Remove from oven when edges are lightly golden and texture appears set, allowing to cool slightly before serving or storing.
Notes
- Egg Temperature Matters Take eggs out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before starting to ensure they whip better and create more volume.
- Moisture Control Pat cottage cheese dry with paper towel to prevent excess liquid that could deflate the cloud bread’s delicate texture.
- Herb Flexibility Experiment with different dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano to customize flavor profile without changing core recipe.
- Storage Strategy Store cloud bread in an airtight container between parchment paper layers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating briefly before serving to restore crispness.
