This bread consists of a base of blended cottage cheese, eggs, and almond flour. The mixture is baked in a loaf pan until the exterior is golden and the center is firm. It is prepared without the use of flour or yeast and is sliced after cooling completely.

About This Recipe

The preparation begins by blending the cottage cheese until the texture is smooth. In a separate bowl, eggs are whisked together with almond flour, baking powder, and salt. The blended cheese and olive oil are stirred into these ingredients until a batter forms. This mixture is poured into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper and placed in the oven at 350°F. The loaf remains in the oven for approximately 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

The ingredients include cottage cheese, which is used alongside eggs to create the internal structure of the bread. Almond flour and psyllium husk are included in the dry mixture, while baking powder is used to influence the rise of the loaf during the baking process. Olive oil or melted butter is added to the batter to incorporate fat into the mixture. The seasoning relies on salt and optional garlic powder, which are distributed throughout the dough before it is placed in the pan.

The finished loaf is left on a wire rack until it reaches room temperature before any slicing occurs. The recipe is modified by adding dried rosemary, chives, or shredded cheddar cheese to the savory version of the batter. For a sweet variation, cinnamon and a sugar-free sweetener are added to the mixture instead of savory spices. Each slice is served with toppings such as butter, cream cheese, or avocado, and the bread is portioned with a serrated knife.

    No — the cottage cheese balances the flavor perfectly once baked.
