Ingredients
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the eggs into two clean, dry bowls, ensuring no yolk remnants are in the whites.
Combine the cottage cheese, egg yolks, garlic powder, and salt in a high-speed blender for two minutes until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with the cream of tartar using an electric mixer until stiff, stable peaks form.
Gently fold the blended cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula, taking care to preserve the airiness.
Scoop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth them into rounds.
Bake for 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the bread to cool completely on the tray before serving to ensure the structure sets properly.
Notes
Ensure the cottage cheese is not overly watery; drain excess liquid if necessary for better texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and toast lightly before serving.
