Ingredients

• full-fat cottage cheese
• large eggs
• almond flour
• baking powder
• salt
• Optional: sesame seeds for decoration

Instructions

• Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully before slicing.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or use a silicone one.
• Blend the cottage cheese until smooth in a high-speed blender or a food processor
• Add eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend again until thick and fully combined.
• Scoop the cottage cheese mixture into the loaf pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle sesame seeds if using.
• Bake for 40–50 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Expert Tips

• Blend until creamy: Smooth cottage cheese makes the texture lighter and less “eggy.” Don’t skip this step.
• Use a silicone loaf pan: It prevents sticking and gives the bread a clean release without fuss.
• Don’t overmix: Once everything’s blended, stop. Over-blending can make the loaf dense.

• Cottage cheese: Use ricotta cheese, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt if needed, but the texture may be softer.
• Almond flour: Swap with fine sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version (same amount).
• Eggs: Liquid egg whites work, but the bread will be less rich. Use ¾ cup to replace 3 eggs.

Storage Tips

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Slice first for quick grab-and-go.
• Freezer: Wrap slices in parchment and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in toaster or oven.
• Best texture: Toast lightly before serving for that fresh-baked feel.

Cottage Cheese Bread Variations

Not all keto breads are created equal! Here’s how this almond flour version compares to the other two cottage cheese bread recipes I’ve shared. Please note, this is my personal opinion:

• Almond Flour Cottage Cheese Bread (this one): Rich, soft, and slightly heavier. Great for sandwiches or slathering with butter.
• Coconut Flour Cottage Cheese Bread: Drier, firmer, and more sliceable. Feels the most like traditional bread, especially if you toast it.
• 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread: Light and airy, almost soufflé-like. The easiest one for lazy low-carb days.

What Others Say

• “Almond flour is softer but can feel too rich for everyday.”

You can try all three and see which one your body and taste buds love most. I’ve tested each one in my own kitchen so you don’t have to guess.

Ingredient Swaps

• Cottage cheese: Use ricotta cheese, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt if needed, but the texture may be softer.
• Almond flour: Swap with fine sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version (same amount).
• Eggs: Liquid egg whites work, but the bread will be less rich. Use ¾ cup to replace 3 eggs.

Q: Can I use a different cheese?

A: Yes! Try soft cheeses like ricotta, cream cheese, or mascarpone. Just adjust for moisture and texture.

Q: Can I add extra ingredients?

A: Totally. Stir in herbs, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, onion powder or oregano for extra flavor or even a handful of chocolate chips or nuts.
