Cottage cheese bread




FINALLY!! I have been doing keto and was getting sick of almond bread and coconut flour bread. 
This is a nice version for sandwiches.  I did have a problem with the bottom sticking so next time I will try spraying the parchment paper.  I also had to turn the oven higher near the end.

This is what the recipe calls for:

1 cup cottage cheese (better 4 percent fat)
3 large eggs (separated)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional and I forgot)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Black pepper--I just sprinkled some in.
Optional other herbs
parchment paper or cooking spray (I recommend both!)

Preheat 300 F (I had to turn up higher near the end)

Separate the egg whites into a separate bowl. Add the cream of tartar to this bowl and whip about 3-5 minutes or until soft peaks form.

In second bowl blend cottage cheese, egg yolks and seasonings--you could do this in a food processor to get it smoother.

Last of all fold the egg whites into the cottage cheese batter carefully---just mixing.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (and I advise a bit of cooking spray as mine still stuck a bit to the paper----next time I will try both).

You can pour batter into a large rectangle shape or do circular biscuit like shapes.  Cook 30 minutes or more until golden and firm to touch. NOTE---I did a rectangular shape and mine took a lot longer. I ended up turning up the heat.

Let cool 5 minutes, and lifting the parchment, transfer to a wire rack. After cooling on the rack, I ended up flipping mine over after it had cooled a while to make parchment removal easier.

I cut mine into 8 smaller rectangle shapes and used 2 each for sandwiches.
