Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat recommended)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (like rosemary or chives) or 1 tablespoon honey for a sweet version
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Blend the wet ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until completely smooth.
- Add dry ingredients: Add baking powder and salt to the mixture. Blend again or mix gently to combine evenly.
- Customize the flavor: Fold in herbs for a savory loaf or honey for a sweet twist, if desired.
- Prepare to bake: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and slice: Allow bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure the best texture.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat cottage cheese to achieve a richer texture. Always let the bread cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling. Customize it with herbs, seeds, or even a swirl of nut butter for endless possibilities.
