Easy Cloud Bread with Cottage Cheese (Viral Recipe)
A fluffy, protein-packed twist on viral cloud bread made with blended cottage cheese and whipped egg whites. Low carb, gluten-free, and perfect for both sweet and savory options—this is the ultimate high protein bread swap!
Equipment
- 2 cookie sheets
- 1 whisk
- 1 immersion blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese 4%
- 3 large eggs separated
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar optional
- ¼ teaspoon sweetener such as monk fruit - optional
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If needed, blend your cottage cheese with an immersion blender or food processor.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and blended cottage cheese. Add the sweetener if you're using it.
- In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar (optional but recommended) until stiff peaks form. Cream of tartar helps give the egg whites lift.
- Gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the egg whites until just combined.
- Spoon into 10 fluffy rounds on the baking sheet, which is about ⅓ cup each. Shape into rounds that are about 5" wide and ¾" thick.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and set, flipping the pans halfway through baking. We used two smaller baking sheets since 10 rounds will not fit on one. You can also bake these in two batches if needed.
- Let cool. The bread will be crisp and crumbly at this point. Store in a Ziplock plastic bag overnight, they'll turn into soft fluffy bread rounds that are perfect for sandwiches or even mini tortillas. Enjoy!
