Servings: 6
Calories: 43kcal
Ingredients
- 3 eggs large, very fresh, separated
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar or ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 oz cottage cheese ideally full fat (4%), 85g
- 1 teaspoon olive oil extra virgin
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Italian herbs or herbs de Provence
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 Fahrenheit / 150 Celsius (electric). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease the parchment lightly with oil (don't miss this step!).
- Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites and the cream of tartar in a large, clean bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Take your time and whip for at least 2 minutes to achieve small, sturdy air bubbles.
- Ideally using a blender, whip the egg yolks with the cottage cheese, olive oil and seasonings until COMPLETELY smooth and creamy.
- Carefully and gradually fold the egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture with a spatula. Use a folding motion to incorporate, taking care to keep the air bubbles intact.
- Scoop the mixture into 6 circular disks onto the parchment paper, leaving space around each round as the batter spreads a little during baking.
- Bake around 25-35 minutes until golden. Test for doneness by gently pressing onto the top of the bread. It should feel springy. (Oven time depends on how thick the breads are).
Notes
0.3g net carbs per cloud bread. Makes 6 round breads. Use 2 as a sandwich (0.6g net carbs, 86 calories)
Tips for stiff egg whites: Use very fresh eggs. Also, make sure the bowl you whip the egg whites in is dry, fat free and there are no yolk bits in the whites.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Place parchment paper in between each bread to prevent them from sticking together.
