Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (creamy, full-fat or low-fat)
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder, for structure)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Additional
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Add baking powder and continue beating until stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy meringue base.
- Blend Wet Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, egg yolks, honey, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Fold Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the blended cottage cheese mixture. Use a spatula to carefully incorporate without deflating the airy texture.
- Add Blueberries: Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to maintain the light, fluffy batter consistency.
- Shape Batter: Scoop the batter into thick rounds (about 1 inch thick) onto the prepared baking sheet or into a baking dish. Top with extra blueberries for garnish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until the bread is golden brown on top and set in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before gently removing from the parchment. Serve warm or chilled for a fluffy, moist, and almost cheesecake-like texture.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level for a sweeter bread.
- Ensure the egg whites are whipped in a clean, grease-free bowl to achieve maximum volume.
- This bread can be enjoyed warm or chilled, depending on your texture preference.
