Ingredients
Scale
4 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup cottage cheese, drained well
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese and the egg yolks. Mix until smooth. You may use an immersion blender for a smoother texture.
In a separate, clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. The peaks should hold their shape when you lift the whisk.
Gently fold one-third of the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese and yolk mixture to lighten it.
Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Do not overmix, as this will deflate the air needed for fluffiness.
Spoon six equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into rounds, like thick pancakes.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread is firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Use immediately for the best texture.
Notes
For a savory flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon dried herbs to the cottage cheese mixture.
If you skip draining the cottage cheese, your bread may not rise as well.
This bread is best eaten the same day it is made. Storing it can cause it to lose its airy texture.
