☁️ Light & Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread
📝 Description
This cloud bread is ultra-light, airy, and slightly creamy thanks to cottage cheese. It’s a soft, melt-in-your-mouth alternative to regular bread—low in carbs, high in protein, and perfect for sandwiches, snacks, or even a light breakfast. The texture is almost like a savory soufflé with a delicate golden top.
🧾 Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar (or a few drops of lemon juice)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for stability)
