Key Ingredients
Cottage Cheese
Use full-fat for creaminess. It blends smoothly into the batter and gives the bread a protein-packed base.
Eggs
Separate them for fluffier texture. The whites are whipped to stiff peaks to give the cloud effect.
Cream of Tartar
Optional but helps stabilize the egg whites for a better rise.
Blueberries
Fresh or frozen both work. They add natural sweetness and moisture.
Vanilla Extract
Brings warm, bakery-style aroma.
Pinch of Salt
Balances the sweetness and rounds out flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Whip & Fold
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Separate 3 eggs. Add whites to one bowl, yolks to another.
- Add ¼ tsp cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat until stiff peaks form.
- In the other bowl, mix:
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 3 egg yolks
- Blend until smooth (use a blender for best texture).
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in batches. Don’t overmix—you want it airy.
- Fold in ¼ cup blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them too much.
Bake & Cool
- Spoon 6–8 rounds onto the baking sheet.
- Optionally top with a few extra blueberries.
- Bake 25–28 minutes or until golden and springy.
- Let cool 10 minutes. Enjoy warm or store for later.

What You Must Know
- Whip the egg whites well—this is key to the cloud-like texture.
- Gently fold—don’t stir vigorously or you’ll deflate the batter.
- Frozen blueberries are totally fine—just don’t thaw them first.
- Bake on parchment for easy release (trust me on this one).
