Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Everything bagel seasoning (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan (about 8×4 inches) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Place the cottage cheese and eggs into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible curds remaining. This step is key for a fluffy texture.
- If using, blend in the Italian seasoning and garlic powder until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top evenly with everything bagel seasoning, if desired.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cottage cheese bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Slice into 6 to 8 pieces.
Notes
- For the smoothest texture, press the cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve before blending if your blender is not powerful.
- This high-protein bread is best eaten within 3 days and stores well when wrapped tightly in the refrigerator.
- You can use this as a base for mini pizzas or savory wraps.
