# Ingredients:

→ Cloud Bread Base

01 - 6 Large Eggs (room temperature)
02 - 1 cup Full-Fat Cottage Cheese

→ Sweetness & Swirls

03 - 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar (or sweetener of choice)
04 - 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
05 - 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Blueberries

→ Stability Boosters

06 - 1 tbsp Cornstarch or Arrowroot Powder

→ Optional Finishing Touches

07 - Powdered sugar, for dusting
08 - Lemon zest, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - First things first, let's get organized! Preheat your oven to a gentle 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper – honestly, don't skip this, it makes cleanup so much easier. I once forgot the parchment and had a sticky situation on my hands, total disaster. This low temperature is key to drying out the cloud bread slowly, giving it that signature airy texture you're after. Get ready for some serious fluff, folks!
02 - Carefully separate your egg whites from the yolks. Put the whites into a super clean, dry bowl – any grease, and they won't whip! Beat them on medium-high speed until they form stiff, glossy peaks. This is where the magic starts. I always get a little thrill seeing those whites transform. If you get any yolk in there, start over, or your fluffy cottage cheese blueberry cloud bread won't get its lift!
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg yolks, sugar (or sweetener), vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Blend this mixture until it's super smooth. I use an immersion blender for this, but a food processor works wonders too. You want zero lumps, a creamy, dreamy base for our fluffy cottage cheese blueberry cloud bread. It should smell sweet and inviting, a promise of good things to come. Don't rush this step!
04 - Now for the delicate part! Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture. Use a spatula and a light hand, trying not to deflate those beautiful whites. This is what gives our fluffy cottage cheese blueberry cloud bread its airy structure. I usually do this in two or three additions, just to be extra careful. This is where patience pays off!
05 - Carefully fold in your blueberries. You don't want to overmix here, or they'll burst and color your batter too much. Just a few gentle folds until they're evenly distributed. If you're using frozen, don't thaw them completely; just a quick rinse under cold water to remove any ice crystals works. I once was too aggressive and ended up with purple cloud bread – still tasty, but not quite the look I was going for, haha.
06 - Spoon the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 round 'clouds.' Leave a little space between each. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until they're golden brown and feel firm to the touch. They'll puff up beautifully, filling your kitchen with an incredible aroma. The final fluffy cottage cheese blueberry cloud bread should be light, airy, and a delightful golden hue. Let them cool slightly before devouring!

# Notes:

01 - Always use room temperature eggs for the best whipped whites.
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4.
03 - If you don't have cottage cheese, ricotta can work in a pinch, but the texture will be denser.
04 - Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of Greek yogurt for a delightful breakfast.
