Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Large Whole Eggs
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese (Full, Reduced, or Fat Free all work, look for Low Sodium)
- ¾ Teaspoon Garlic Powder (Optional)
- 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning (Optional)
- Oregano (Optional for topping)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add your 1 cup of cottage cheese and 2 large whole eggs into either a food processor or blender. If using, add ¾ teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning now. Process or blend these ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain. This ensures a consistent texture for your finished cottage cheese bread.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Take out a baking sheet and line it entirely with parchment paper. This is crucial for preventing sticking. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray to further ensure easy removal of your baked bread.
- Pour & Shape: Carefully pour your smooth cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon or a spatula, evenly spread it out into your desired shape. You can make it a large thin rectangle for wraps, a round shape for a pizza base, or several smaller circles for individual servings. If you prefer a thicker bread, consider using a small baking pan. You may also top it with a little oregano or any other desired seasonings at this stage. For a loaf-style bread like the photos, pour the batter into a small parchment-lined loaf pan instead of spreading it thin on a baking sheet.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, place the baking sheet into the oven. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on how thick or thin you spread your mixture; thinner bread will bake faster, while a thicker consistency will require more time. My “flatbread” typically takes around 50 minutes with the small baking pan to achieve a golden brown color and firm texture.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven once the cottage cheese bread turns a beautiful golden brown color and the edges look set. Transfer the bread, still on the parchment paper, to a wire rack. It is vital to let it cool completely before attempting to peel it off the parchment paper or cut it. This cooling process helps the bread firm up and prevents it from sticking or tearing.
