Ingredients
- 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, for structure)
- 1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of sweetener (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls.
- Whip Egg Whites: Add cream of tartar to egg whites and whip with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Mix Yolk Base: In a separate bowl, mix egg yolks with blended cottage cheese, salt, cornstarch (if using), and honey or sweetener. Stir until smooth.
- Combine: Gently fold whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds, keeping the mixture light and fluffy.
- Shape: Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 rounds. Shape them evenly using the back of a spoon.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and set. Let cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Substitutes: Use ricotta or cream cheese instead of cottage cheese.
- Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
- Reheating: Warm in an oven or toaster for the best texture.
- Sweet Variation: Add vanilla extract and a touch of cinnamon for a sweeter version.
- Common Issue Fix: If the bread turns out flat, ensure the egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks and gently folded.
