Essential Ingredients
- Eggs at room temperature: Crucial for getting the biggest fluff when beaten
- Cottage cheese: Blend until perfectly smooth, choose full-fat when possible
- Cream of tartar: Helps egg whites hold their shape for better results
- Fresh blueberries: Both tiny wild ones and larger store-bought work great
- Cornstarch (if you want): Helps things stay together while keeping it fluffy

Cooking Instructions
- Getting Egg Whites Ready
- Split cold eggs, then let whites warm up. Make sure your bowls are super clean. Start beating slowly, then go faster. Add cream of tartar when they look foamy. Beat until they form stiff peaks.
- Creating the Base
- Blend cottage cheese until totally smooth. Beat egg yolks until they're pale. Mix with cottage cheese, honey, and salt. Add cornstarch if you're using it.
- Mixing Everything
- Gently fold a third of whites into the base. Add the rest in two batches using a gentle figure-eight motion. Mix just enough to combine.
- Adding Berries
- Make sure fresh berries aren't wet. If using frozen, don't thaw them first. Scatter them carefully throughout the mixture.
Getting your egg whites right makes or breaks this recipe. The more you make it, the better you'll get at creating that fluffy magic that makes real cloud bread so special.
Temp Tips
Room temperature ingredients really boost how much your egg whites can expand. Just let everything sit out and warm up naturally before you start cooking.
Keeping It Fresh
Wrap it in paper bags instead of plastic to keep the texture nice. Try to eat it all within a few hours after it comes out of the oven.
This recipe shows how thinking outside the box can lead to amazing food. Every time you make it, you'll get better at the technique while playing around with different flavors and add-ins.
