Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cottage cheese, full-fat drained
  • 2 large eggs
Optional Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Equipment

  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire rack

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain the cottage cheese well using a fine-mesh strainer, pressing gently with a spatula to remove excess liquid.
  3. Whisk the drained cottage cheese and eggs in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder and rosemary if desired.
  5. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a round, flat loaf about 1 inch thick.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden-brown and the bread feels firm.
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Slice into 8 pieces with a serrated knife and serve.

Notes

Drain cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid a soggy texture. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
