Ingredients
– 3 large eggs, separated
– Β½ cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well and blended until smooth
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– ΒΌ teaspoon cream of tartar
– 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener (optional)
– Β½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
– Β½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
– Β½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
1-Preheat oven and prepare sheet: Begin by preheating your oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This low temperature ensures the bread bakes evenly without losing its fluffiness.
2-Blend cottage cheese: Next, drain the excess liquid from the Β½ cup of full-fat cottage cheese and blend it until smooth to avoid any lumps in the batter.
3-Whip egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with ΒΌ teaspoon of cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, which is crucial for that airy texture.
4-Mix and bake: In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the blended cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and any optional items like 1 tablespoon of powdered sweetener or Β½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, taking care to keep as much air in as possible for a light rise. Then, carefully mix in the Β½ cup of fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly. Use a ΒΌ cup measure to scoop the batter onto the baking sheet, spacing portions 2 inches apart, and flatten them slightly with a spoon. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and firm. Let it cool on the sheet for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.
