Healthy Thanksgiving Alternative Bread or any holiday

Yum — FLUFFY COTTAGE CHEESE CLOUD BREAD (see photo below recipe)

This cloud bread is airy, high in protein, and soft, plus low carb — (Makes 6–8)

1 cup cottage cheese
3 large eggs
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp cream of tartar in egg whites (for puffy results when baking)
¼ tsp salt

Optional: For a savory bread/roll version: I like adding Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend. Or you can add garlic powder or shredded cheese for flavor.  For a sweet bread: add stevia and cinnamon. Slather melted butter before adding any seasonings on top.

Step 1:  Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Separate egg whites from yolks. Add ¼ tsp cream of tartar to egg whites, then beat them until stiff.
Step 3: In another bowl, blend cottage cheese, egg yolks, baking powder, salt, and any optional add-ins until smooth. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, keeping it airy.
Step 4:  Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6–8 rounds. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until lightly golden and set.
Step 5: Allow to cool slightly before serving.  Can also slice or use as is for sandwiches, toast, or snacks.

TIPS:

• Gently fold egg whites to keep the bread light and fluffy.
• Add herbs or spices for savory versions, or cinnamon/vanilla for a sweet twist.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
