Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs (separated, room temperature)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for best texture)
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (or 1 tsp lemon juice/vinegar)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sweetener (optional: honey, erythritol, or skip for savory version)
Possible Substitutions:
- Cottage Cheese → Greek yogurt or ricotta (slightly denser but works)
- Cream of tartar → Lemon juice/vinegar (helps stabilize egg whites)
- Sweetener → Omit for savory bread
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Whip Egg Whites
- Separate egg whites from yolks (ensure no yolk mixes in).
- In a clean bowl, beat whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 mins).
Step 3: Blend Yolk Mixture
- In another bowl, mix egg yolks, cottage cheese, salt, and sweetener until smooth.
- Step 4: Fold Together Gently
- Slowly fold egg whites into yolk mixture (don’t overmix—keep it fluffy!).
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Spoon batter into 6-8 mounds on the baking sheet.
- Bake 25-30 mins until golden and firm.
