Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for low carb)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a small loaf pan (about 8×4 inches).
- Place the cottage cheese and eggs into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible curds remaining. This step is key for a smooth texture.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Pulse until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the olive oil by hand.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cottage cheese bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- For a low-carb version, substitute the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of almond flour.
- You can add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning or everything bagel seasoning to the batter for a savory flavor profile.
- This bread slices best once fully cooled, making it ideal for meal prep.
