¼ tsp garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
¼ tsp onion powder (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prep the Pan

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese (Optional for Smoother Texture)

1. If your cottage cheese is chunky, blend it in a food processor or blender until smooth.
2. This step ensures your cloud bread has a silky, uniform texture.

Step 3: Separate the Eggs

1. Carefully separate the egg whites and yolks into two different bowls.
2. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites to ensure proper whipping.

Step 4: Whip the Egg Whites

1. Add cream of tartar to the egg whites.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
3. This step is key to getting the fluffy, cloud-like texture.

Step 5: Mix the Yolks and Cottage Cheese

1. In the other bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cottage cheese, salt, and optional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
2. Mix until well combined.

Step 6: Fold the Mixtures Together

1. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture using a rubber spatula.
2. Do this in batches and take your time to avoid deflating the egg whites.
3. The mixture should be airy and light.

Step 7: Shape the Cloud Bread

1. Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in 6 equal mounds.
2. Spread into circles about 4 inches wide and ½ inch thick.
3. Leave space between each for even baking.

Step 8: Bake to Fluffy Perfection

1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
2. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
3. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9: Serve and Enjoy

1. Enjoy as-is, or top with your favorite spreads like cream cheese, hummus, or avocado.
2. Use as sandwich rounds, breakfast toasts, or snack bites.
