Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese full-fat or low-fat, large or small curd
  • 1 large Egg room temperature, for best blending
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder optional, for savory flavor
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Italian Herbs optional, for savory flavor
  • pinch Salt optional, to taste
  • pinch Black Pepper optional, to taste

Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the Batter
  1. Combine the cottage cheese and large egg in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and no lumps remain, about 1-2 minutes. The mixture should be a smooth, pourable batter.
  2. If using, add the optional garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Pulse a few times to incorporate the seasonings.
Form and Bake
  1. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming four separate circles (or any desired shape) about 3-4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Leave some space between each piece as they will spread slightly.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the bread rounds are golden brown, firm to the touch, and cooked through. They should easily peel off the parchment paper.
Cool and Serve
  1. Remove from the oven and let the cottage cheese bread cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The bread will firm up as it cools.
  2. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a base for sandwiches, with a spread, or as a high-protein side.

Notes

For an air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 325°F (160°C). Pour batter onto small parchment-lined squares (if needed, cook in batches). Air fry for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and firm.
Get creative with seasonings! Try everything bagel seasoning, onion powder, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a toaster, oven, or air fryer.
