Ready to whip up these light, fluffy, and utterly delicious cloud breads? Follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy removal.

Step 2: Prepare the Blueberry Swirl
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and sweetener (if using).
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and form a thick, jam-like consistency (about 5–7 minutes).
Remove from heat and let cool slightly while you prepare the cloud bread batter.
Step 3: Make the Cottage Cheese Mixture
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 4: Whip the Egg Whites
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3–5 minutes). The egg whites should hold their shape when you lift the beaters.
Step 5: Combine the Mixtures
Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture to lighten it.
Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Use a spatula and fold gently until just combined …
