Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and eggs. Stir until thoroughly blended.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
- Incorporate Fresh Herbs: Gently fold in the chopped fresh chives until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
