Description
A light, low-carb, and protein-packed alternative to traditional bread made with cottage cheese and eggs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tbsp almond flour (optional)
- 1 tbsp coconut flour (optional)
- ½ tsp baking powder

- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- Sesame seeds, chia seeds, or poppy seeds for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the eggs carefully, placing the whites in a clean bowl and yolks in another.
- Add cream of tartar to egg whites and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- In the yolk bowl, combine cottage cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil and mix until mostly smooth.
- Gently fold one-third of the beaten whites into the yolk mixture, then fold in the remaining whites in two additions.
