Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (for fluffiness)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup almond flour (optional, for a bread-like texture)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for flavor)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional, for extra taste)
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9-inch round pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. Beat the Egg Whites
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- This step is key to getting that cloud-like fluffiness.
3. Mix the Batter
- In another bowl, blend egg yolks, cottage cheese, baking powder, salt, and almond flour.
- Stir in melted butter and any seasonings you like.
4. Fold Gently
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture.
- Be gentle—don’t deflate the air bubbles!
5. Bake to Perfection
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- It’s ready when the top is golden brown and firm.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing.
