Flourless Cottage Cheese Bread

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan (about 8×4 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until well combined. Add the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, and black pepper (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Add Herbs (Optional): If you’re using fresh herbs, fold them into the batter.
4. Pour and Smooth: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Serve: Slice and enjoy the bread on its own, or with your favorite spreads or toppings.
