Ingredients
-
1/2 cup cottage cheese
-
3 large eggs, separated
-
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
-
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
-
1 teaspoon honey or sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, blend cottage cheese, egg yolks, baking powder, salt, garlic powder (if using), and honey or sugar (if using) until smooth.
-
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter.
-
Spoon the mixture into rounds on the prepared baking sheet (about 1/4 cup per round).
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden and set.
- Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
Notes
-
Use a food processor or immersion blender for a smoother texture.
-
Garlic powder adds a savory flavor but can be omitted for a more neutral taste.
- These are best eaten fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator and lightly toasted before serving.
