This simple Cottage Cheese Bread is a high-protein, low-carb bread alternative made with just eggs and cottage cheese. Blended smooth and baked until lightly golden, it creates a soft, flexible bread that works well for sandwiches, wraps, toast, or even as a flatbread base. Mild in flavor, quick to prepare, and endlessly customizable, it’s perfect for everyday meals or easy meal prep.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat, reduced-fat, or fat-free — low-sodium works best)
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Oregano or other seasoning for topping

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or small loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until completely smooth, with no visible lumps.
3. Add garlic powder and Italian seasoning if using, and blend briefly to combine.
4. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly, or into a loaf pan for thicker slices.
5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the bread is set, lightly golden, and firm to the touch. Thicker loaves may take up to 45 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing or removing from parchment.
7. Optionally, sprinkle oregano or other topping before serving.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet, toaster oven, or oven for best texture.
