Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls.

2. Whip the Egg Whites:

Add cream of tartar to the egg whites.
Use a hand or stand mixer to beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form.

3. Mix the Yolks and Cottage Cheese:

In the bowl with egg yolks, add blended cottage cheese, salt, cornstarch (if using), and honey or sweetener (if using).
Mix until smooth.

4. Combine the Mixtures:

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk and cottage cheese mixture in three additions, using a spatula.
Fold carefully to keep the batter airy.

5. Shape the Cloud Bread:

Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 small rounds or larger pieces based on preference.
Use the back of a spoon to shape them evenly.

6. Bake:

Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Let the cloud bread cool completely before serving.
