Easy 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread (High-Protein & Low-Carb) Recipe

Introduction

This easy 2-ingredient cottage cheese bread is a high-protein, low-carb option perfect for quick meals or snacks. With simple ingredients and minimal prep, it’s a versatile base for wraps, pizzas, or just a tasty bread alternative.

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

1. Step 1: Add cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps.
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Step 3: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly into your desired shape—thin rectangle, round, or small circles. Sprinkle oregano or other seasonings on top if desired.
4. Step 4: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the bread for 30–35 minutes. Thinner breads will cook faster, while thicker ones may take up to 50 minutes until golden brown and firm.
5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and transfer, still on parchment paper, to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before peeling or cutting to ensure the bread firms up and doesn’t stick or tear.

Tips & Variations

• Use a low-sodium cottage cheese to control saltiness.
• Whip the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor for a smoother texture.
• Try different seasonings like onion powder, dried chives, or paprika to customize flavor.
• Substitute whole eggs with egg whites (about two egg whites per one whole egg).
• Ricotta cheese can replace cottage cheese but may yield a denser bread.

Storage

Store cottage cheese bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in a toaster oven or oven until heated through and slightly crisp. Avoid microwaving to maintain texture.
