Main Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs and cottage cheese. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and homogenous, ensuring there are no lumps for the best texture.
- Form the Dough: Using a spatula, carefully scrape the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it evenly into a loaf or shape of your choice, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
- Bake the Bread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, and bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes until the bread is puffed, golden, and set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This cooling time helps the bread to firm up and improves the texture.
Notes
- For a fluffier texture, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to soft peaks before folding them gently into the blended egg yolks and cottage cheese mixture.
- You can add herbs, spices, or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor according to your preference.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
- This bread is best enjoyed toasted or grilled lightly to enhance its texture.
