Ingredients
– 3 large, very fresh eggs, separated
– ΒΌ teaspoon cream of tartar or Β½ teaspoon baking powder
– 3 ounces (85g) cottage cheese, ideally full fat (4%), with all liquid drained
– 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
– ΒΌ teaspoon garlic powder or herbs de Provence
– β teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 300 Fahrenheit (150 Celsius) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly greased with oil to avoid sticking. This sets the stage for a smooth baking process that takes just about 30 minutes total. Separate the eggs carefully, whipping the whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form using fresh eggs is crucial for the best results and to prevent any yolk contamination.
1-Blend the egg yolks with the drained cottage cheese, olive oil, and seasonings until the mixture is smooth and creamy, using a blender for efficiency.
2-Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture with a spatula, taking care to keep those air bubbles intact for that signature cloud-like texture.
3-Spoon the batter into six circular mounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for them to spread during baking.
4-Bake for 25-35 minutes until the bread is golden and springs back when touched, then let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
