Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Separate the eggs, placing whites in a clean, dry bowl and yolks in another. Blend cottage cheese until smooth.
- Whip Egg Whites: Using a mixer, whip egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar, then whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Mix Yolks: Whisk yolks with blended cottage cheese, salt, and optional cornstarch in a separate bowl.
- Fold Gently: Carefully fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites using a spatula. Avoid overmixing to preserve the airy texture.
- Shape and Bake: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Scoop batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping into rounds or desired shapes. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the bread cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a savory twist, add garlic powder, rosemary, or Italian seasoning to the batter.
- For a sweet version, include a splash of vanilla extract and a sprinkle of stevia or honey.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated or frozen for later use.
