1 tbsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, erythritol, or monk fruit)

❓ Q & A
Q: Why is my cloud bread flat?
Egg whites may be under-whipped or over-folded. Use stiff peaks and fold gently.
Q: Can I use ricotta instead of cottage cheese?
Yes—but blend very well. Texture will be slightly denser.
Q: Can I store cloud bread?
Store in fridge up to 2 days in airtight container.
Q: Can I freeze it?
Freezing is not recommended—texture becomes watery when thawed.
Q: Can I add lemon or cinnamon?
Absolutely! Lemon zest or a pinch of cinnamon works beautifully with blueberries.
💡 Pro Tips
Use room-temperature eggs for maximum volume.
Keep blueberries small to avoid sinking.
Perfect topped with Greek yogurt, powdered sweetener, or sugar-free syrup.
