Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 Large Whole Eggs
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese (Low Sodium recommended; Full, Reduced, or Fat Free all work)
Optional Seasonings
- ¾ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Oregano (for topping)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add 1 cup cottage cheese and 2 large whole eggs into a blender or food processor. Include garlic powder and Italian seasoning if using. Blend until completely smooth with no lumps to ensure consistent texture.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and lightly coat it with cooking spray for easy bread removal.
- Pour & Shape: Pour the smooth cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly to your preferred shape—large thin rectangle, round pizza base, or smaller circles for individual breads. For thicker bread, use a small baking pan. Optionally, sprinkle oregano or other seasonings on top.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the shaped mixture for 30-35 minutes; thinner bread bakes faster, thicker bread takes up to 50 minutes until golden brown and firm.
- Cool: Remove bread from oven when golden brown and edges are set. Transfer on parchment to a wire rack and let cool completely before peeling or cutting to ensure firm texture and prevent tearing.
Notes
- Use low-sodium cottage cheese to control overall saltiness.
- Blending cottage cheese smoothens texture and prevents lumps.
- Customize flavors by adding spices such as onion powder, dried chives, or paprika.
- Egg whites can replace whole eggs at roughly two whites per one whole egg adjustment.
- Ricotta cheese may substitute cottage cheese but can result in denser bread.
- Cool completely before slicing to maintain structure and ease of handling.
