# Ingredients:

→ Cloud Bread Base

01 - 1 cup (225g) full-fat cottage cheese
02 - 3 large eggs, separated
03 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder

→ Sweet & Aromatic Touches

04 - 2-3 tablespoons erythritol or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Burst of Berry Goodness

06 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

→ Optional Finishing Touches

07 - 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
08 - Pinch of ground cinnamon

# Instructions:

01 - First things first, preheat that oven to 300°F (150°C). This low and slow temperature is crucial for the cloud-like texture of our Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is where I always forget to line it, honestly. Don't be like me! Parchment paper is your friend; it prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. While the oven warms, you'll feel that anticipation building, a little hum in the kitchen.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg yolks, cornstarch (or arrowroot), sweetener, and vanilla extract. Now, get that mixture super smooth! I use my immersion blender for about 30-60 seconds, because who wants lumpy cloud bread? You want it silky, almost like a thin pancake batter. This forms the heart of our Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread, giving it that unique, creamy texture. This is a simple step, but don't rush it; smooth is the goal!
03 - In a separate, absolutely clean and dry bowl (any grease will ruin it!), beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for airy Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread. I remember one time, I under-whipped them, and my clouds looked more like sad pancakes. You want them to hold their shape firmly, like little snowy mountains. This is where the magic really begins to happen, creating that incredible lift.
04 - Now, this is where you need a light hand. Gently, *gently* fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture. Imagine you're folding actual clouds into each other; you want to incorporate them without deflating all that precious air. Overmixing? It's a one-way ticket to dense, deflated Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread. Take your time, use a spatula, and just watch the two mixtures become one beautiful, airy batter.
05 - Spoon out about 1/4 cup of the mixture for each cloud onto your prepared baking sheet. Don't worry about perfection; rustic is charming, right? You should get about 8-10 clouds. Then, scatter those beautiful fresh blueberries over the top of each cloud. They'll get all jammy and delicious in the oven, adding a lovely burst of flavor and color. This step always makes me smile, seeing the vibrant berries nestled in the fluffy batter.
06 - Carefully transfer the baking sheet to your preheated oven. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread is beautifully golden brown and puffed up. Watch them transform! The smell of warm blueberries and vanilla will start to fill your kitchen, honestly, it's divine. Once they're golden, pull them out and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This is the moment your Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread dreams come true!

# Notes:

01 - Don't overmix the egg whites or over-fold them; gentle is key for that cloud-like texture.
02 - Stores great in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days; reheat gently in a toaster oven.
03 - Swap blueberries for raspberries or a sprinkle of chocolate chips for a fun variation.
04 - Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a tiny drizzle of maple syrup for extra deliciousness.
