Ingredients
-
3 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup plain cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- ½ tsp pink Himalayan salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and the yolks in a separate bowl.
- Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- In the bowl with the yolks, mix in the blended cottage cheese and salt until smooth.
- Gently fold the egg white mixture into the yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites.
- Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in small rounds or into a loaf pan for a more traditional bread shape.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and set.
- Let cool before removing from the pan. Enjoy as is or lightly toasted.
