Ingredients You’ll Need

Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.

2 large whole eggs
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat, reduced-fat, or fat-free all work; look for low sodium if possible)
¾ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Oregano, for topping (optional)

Let’s Get Started

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan (8×4-inch works well) with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Add the eggs and cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth. The mixture should look creamy with no visible curds remaining.
If using garlic powder and Italian seasoning, add them to the blender and pulse briefly to combine. The batter will be thin — that’s exactly what you want.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles. Sprinkle oregano over the top if desired.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top feels firm to the touch. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for at least 10–15 minutes before lifting it out. For clean slices, allow it to cool completely — the texture continues to firm up as it rests.

Servings and Pairing

This loaf makes about 6–8 slices, depending on thickness. Enjoy it toasted with avocado, topped with scrambled eggs, or used as sandwich bread for turkey and veggies. It also pairs nicely with soups and salads.

Variations

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for subtle heat.
Mix in shredded mozzarella or Parmesan for a cheesier flavor.
Sprinkle sesame or everything seasoning on top before baking.
Blend in a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs for extra aroma.

Storage Tips

Store the cooled bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze with parchment between slices. Reheat in a toaster or warm oven until heated through.

FAQs

Does it taste like cottage cheese?

Not strongly. Once blended and baked, the flavor becomes mild and slightly savory.

Can I make this dairy-free?

This specific recipe relies on cottage cheese for structure, so dairy-free substitutions will significantly change the result.

Why is my bread watery?

Cottage cheese brands vary. If it seems very wet, drain off excess liquid before blending.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes. Double the ingredients and bake in a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan, adding a few extra minutes if needed.

Final Thoughts

Easy 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread is a simple, protein-packed alternative to traditional bread. With just a blender and a handful of ingredients, you’ll have a soft, versatile loaf that fits beautifully into busy mornings or quick lunches.
