Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Blueberries

Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

The mixture should hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.

Step 5: Fold the Mixtures Together

Gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites.

Use a spatula and fold carefully to keep as much air as possible.

Fold in the blueberries.

Step 6: Shape the Bread

Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.

Shape into:

• One large round loaf

or

• 6 individual cloud bread rounds

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes or until:

• Light golden brown
• Set in the center

Step 8: Cool

Allow the cloud bread to cool completely on the baking sheet.

It will firm up slightly as it cools.

Step 9: Serve

Top with:

• Powdered sugar
• Extra blueberries
• Honey drizzle

if desired.
