Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites

In a clean bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 3: Blend the Cottage Cheese Mixture

In another bowl, blend cottage cheese, egg yolks, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings until smooth.

Step 4: Fold & Combine

Gently fold the egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the fluffiness.

Step 5: Shape & Bake

Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small, round mounds.
Sprinkle with seeds, Parmesan, or herbs if desired.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serve warm or store for later use!

Notes

Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese – Makes the bread richer and fluffier.
Don’t Overmix – Fold gently to keep the batter light.
For a Crispier Texture – Bake for an extra 5 minutes.
For Extra Flavor – Add grated cheese, herbs, or a pinch of cinnamon for a sweet version.
