2-ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread Recipe (high protein)
This 2 ingredient cottage cheese bread recipe is high protein, low carb and perfect for breakfast, lunch or snack!
Equipment
- hand mixer
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or almond flour
- 2 cups whole milk cottage cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a smaller loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolks contaminate the whites, as this can affect their ability to whip up properly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This step is crucial for incorporating air into the batter, resulting in a light and fluffy loaf.
- In a food processor or high speed blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy (about 1 minute).
- Next, gently fold in the cornstarch and cottage cheese using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped egg whites.
- Once the cornstarch and cottage cheese is evenly incorporated, carefully transfer the mixture into a prepared loaf pan or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Smooth out the top of the batter with the back of a spoon or spatula, ensuring it's evenly distributed in the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. About 30-35 minutes.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
