What You Need for 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is packed with protein (about 14g per ½ cup), making it a great option for kids needing a protein boost. And because the cottage cheese is blended in this recipe, we avoid the texture issue that most people have with it. 

This dairy product is also high in calcium, which is essential for growing strong bones and teeth.

Feel free to use any variety of cottage cheese in this recipe – low fat, full fat, small curd, low sodium. All work well to make the bread. 

Eggs

Eggs are another excellent source of high-quality protein, with about 6g of protein per egg. This makes the bread protein-rich, supporting kids’ energy and focus throughout the day.

In this recipe, eggs act as the binder, giving the bread its structure and fluffiness while adding a mild flavor that complements the creamy cottage cheese.

I recommend using full eggs here rather than egg whites. It will help give the bread a richer flavor and hold together better. 

Nutrition Benefits 

This bread is a protein powerhouse! With both cottage cheese and eggs, it provides a complete source of protein that can help keep kids fuller for longer. More protein options for kids are listed here.

The calcium from cottage cheese supports healthy bone development, while the vitamins and minerals in the eggs boost immune function and cognitive development. Plus, it’s low-carb and free from added sugars, making it a healthy choice for the whole family.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread

step by step of how to make 2 ingredient cottage cheese bread

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. While the oven is heating, line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking.

Next, combine the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender or bowl with an immersion blender. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth. 

Once blended, pour the mixture onto the baking tray, and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the bread is set and has a golden color on top. To check if it’s done, gently press the top; it should feel firm and springy.

Allow the bread to cool completely before eating. This helps the the bread hold together and form a solid texture.

I recommend baking the cottage cheese bread the day you are eating it. Although it can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, the texture is best day of!
