2 ingredient cottage cheese and egg bread is a soft, cloud-light loaf made with no flour, no almond flour, and no protein powder. High protein, keto, carnivore, gluten-free, and diabetic-friendly. 0.3g net carbs and 2.3g protein per slice.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar optional, recommended for beginners
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8"x4" loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- Separate the eggs. Egg whites into one clean, dry bowl. Egg yolks straight into a blender. Any trace of yolk in the whites will stop them whipping.3 large eggs
- Add the cottage cheese to the blender with the yolks. Blend until smooth and creamy.3 tablespoons full-fat cottage cheese
- Add cream of tartar to the whites if using. Whip until stiff peaks form. They should stand up without falling when you lift the beaters.1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Add the cottage cheese mixture to the egg whites in thirds, folding gently after each addition. Scrape under and over with a wide spatula, do not stir.
- Pour into the lined pan and smooth the top lightly. Do not tap the pan.
- Bake for about 20 minutes. Start checking at 15. If the top is golden brown and set, turn the oven off.
- Prop the oven door open a few inches with a wooden spoon. Leave the loaf inside for at least 15 minutes. Do not skip this. It is what stops the loaf deflating.
- Remove and cool in the pan for another 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- A sudden temperature drop is why this loaf deflates. The oven-door rest in step 8 is the fix. Do not skip it.
- Store in the fridge up to 3 days in an airtight container. Let slices cool fully before stacking or they compress.
- My Sweet Cottage Cheese Bread uses the same technique with Swerve and lemon for a dessert-leaning loaf.
