Optional Additions for Extra Flavor:

Instructions
Step 1: Preparation
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Line a Baking Sheet: Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mixing & Combining
- Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and the yolks in a smaller bowl.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Blend the Cottage Cheese Mixture: In the smaller bowl, mix the egg yolks, cottage cheese, honey (if using), and optional vanilla, lemon zest, or cinnamon until smooth.
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure not to crush them.
Step 3: Shaping & Baking
- Form Cloud Bread: Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6 evenly sized mounds.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool & Serve: Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
