Ingredients
3 large, very fresh eggs, separated
ΒΌ teaspoon cream of tartar or Β½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
ΒΌ teaspoon garlic powder
ΒΌ teaspoon Italian herbs or herbs de Provence

Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with this fluffy cottage cheese cloud bread recipe is straightforward and fun. Begin by gathering your ingredients and preheating your oven to 300 Fahrenheit (150 Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper lightly greased with oil to prevent sticking.
2-Next, separate the 3 large, very fresh eggs and whip the egg whites with ΒΌ teaspoon cream of tartar in a clean, dry bowl until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for that cloud-like texture, so take your time. In a blender, combine the egg yolks, 3 ounces of drained full-fat cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, ΒΌ teaspoon garlic powder, ΒΌ teaspoon Italian herbs, and β teaspoon sea salt until smooth.
3-Now, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula to keep those air bubbles intact. Spoon the batter into six circles on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out for even baking. Pop it in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes until golden and firm.
4-Once done, let it cool on a rack before diving in. The total preparation time is just 30 minutes, with 5 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of cooking.
