Ingredients
-
3 large eggs, separated
-
1/2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
-
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, but recommended)
-
Pinch of salt
-
Optional: herbs, spices, or sweetener to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Separate egg whites and yolks into two clean bowls.
-
Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
-
Blend the cottage cheese with the egg yolks until smooth.
-
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk and cottage cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter.
-
Scoop onto the lined baking sheet, forming small rounds.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and set.
-
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the pillowy goodness!
Notes
-
A few small lumps of cottage cheese are totally fine — they add charm and texture!
-
Don’t overmix the batter after folding; keep it light and fluffy.
-
Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge and reheated gently.
-
Make it savory with herbs or sweet with a sprinkle of cinnamon and stevia!
-
For extra stability, make sure your bowl and beaters are super clean before whipping the egg whites.
