Ingredients

2 large whole eggs
1 cup cottage cheese (full, reduced, or fat free; low sodium recommended)
¾ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Oregano (optional for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning (if using) to a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps.
Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Pour the smooth mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula into your desired shape. Optionally, sprinkle oregano or other seasonings on top. For a loaf-style bread, pour the mixture into a small parchment-lined loaf pan instead.
Step 4: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and set. Thinner breads bake faster, while thicker ones in a loaf pan may take about 50 minutes.
Step 5: Remove from oven and transfer the bread on the parchment paper to a wire rack. Let cool completely before peeling off the parchment or slicing to ensure it firms up and doesn’t stick.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, mix in fresh herbs or grated cheese before baking.
Use fat-free or reduced-fat cottage cheese for a lighter bread.
Try spreading the mixture thin for flatbread or thick for a sandwich loaf.
Top with seeds like sesame or sunflower before baking for added texture.

Storage

Store the bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm slices in a toaster or oven until heated through. You can also freeze slices for up to 1 month and thaw before reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese instead of cottage cheese?

Cottage cheese works best because of its moisture and texture, but ricotta can be a good substitute. Avoid harder cheeses as they may affect the batter consistency.

Is this bread suitable for a low-carb diet?

Yes, this bread is low in carbohydrates since it relies mainly on eggs and cottage cheese, making it a great high-protein, low-carb option.

Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

2 Large Whole Eggs
1 Cup Cottage Cheese (full fat, reduced fat, or fat free; preferably low sodium)

Optional Seasonings

¾ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Oregano (for topping)

Instructions

Blend Ingredients. Add 1 cup of cottage cheese and 2 large whole eggs into a food processor or blender. If desired, add ¾ teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps, ensuring a uniform texture for the bread.
Prepare Baking Sheet. Line a baking sheet fully with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ease removal.
Pour & Shape. Pour the smooth mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly into your chosen shape using a spoon or spatula. You can make a thin rectangle for wraps, a round shape for a pizza base, or smaller circles for individual portions. For a thicker loaf-style bread, pour the batter into a small parchment-lined loaf pan. Optionally, sprinkle oregano or any other seasonings on top.
Bake. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking sheet or loaf pan inside and bake for 30-35 minutes for thinner bread. For thicker bread or the loaf style, bake closer to 50 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool. Remove the baked bread from the oven and transfer, still on parchment paper, to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before peeling off the parchment paper or cutting to allow the bread to firm up and avoid tearing.

Notes

Using low sodium cottage cheese helps control the salt content.
The texture and baking time vary depending on thickness; thinner bread cooks faster.
Optional seasonings like garlic powder and Italian seasoning enhance flavor but can be omitted for a plain version.
You can customize the shape to suit your needs: rectangle for wraps, rounds for pizza base or individual breads.
Allowing the bread to cool fully is essential for proper slicing and avoiding breakage.
