Each pancake has a spongy texture with small holes visible on the sides, and the top pancake has a slightly crisp surface with a warm golden color. The pancakes are evenly layered, creating a fluffy and soft appearance. Next to the stack on the plate is a sprig of fresh green parsley adding a touch of contrast.

Ingredients

3 large eggs, separated
½ cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat for better texture)

¼ tsp cream of tartar (helps stabilize the egg whites)
1 tbsp almond flour (optional, for structure)

1 tbsp coconut flour (optional, for texture)
½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for added moisture)
Optional topping: sesame seeds, chia seeds, or poppy seeds

Optional fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls. Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Step 2: In the bowl with the yolks, combine cottage cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. Mix until smooth and well-combined.

Step 3: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the batter.
Step 4: Spoon dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape each into a circular or oval form about ½ inch thick. Sprinkle with optional seeds or fresh herbs.
Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden and slightly firm. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Step 6: Use the cloud bread for sandwiches, toast, or low-carb burger buns. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add finely chopped herbs or a pinch of garlic powder to the batter.
To make the bread more sturdy, include the optional almond and coconut flours; omit them for a lighter texture.

Sprinkle seeds or herbs on top before baking for added texture and taste.

Storage

Store leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a toaster oven or regular oven to restore some fluffiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bread chewy.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond or coconut flour?

Regular flour is not recommended as it will change the texture and may make the cloud bread heavier. Almond and coconut flours keep it light and low-carb.

Can I prepare the batter in advance?

It’s best to prepare and bake the batter immediately after mixing to maintain the fluffiness. Letting the egg whites sit too long after beating can cause them to deflate.
