Short, Catchy Intro
So you’re telling me you want fresh bread… but you don’t want to knead, proof, wait, pray, and sacrifice half your afternoon? Same. 😌
These 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread Squares are fluffy, sliceable, weirdly satisfying, and ridiculously easy. No flour mountain. No yeast drama. Just blend, bake, boom — bread.
And yes, it actually works.
Why This Recipe is Awesome
First of all, it’s literally two ingredients. If you can crack an egg and press a blender button, congratulations — you qualify.
Second, it’s high-protein bread. Like… actual protein bread. Not “we sprinkled chia seeds on top and called it healthy” bread.
Third? It’s idiot-proof. Even I didn’t mess it up. That says a lot.
It’s soft. It slices clean. It toasts beautifully. It holds sandwiches. It doesn’t fall apart like a sad low-carb experiment.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese (the star of the show — small curd works best)
- 4 large eggs (room temp if you’re feeling fancy)
That’s it. No flour. No baking powder. No oil. Just trust the process.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Yes, actually preheat it. Rookie mistake if you don’t.
- Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper. Don’t skip this unless you enjoy scraping bread off pans.
- Add cottage cheese and eggs to a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth. No lumps. We want silky, not chunky.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan. Spread evenly.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and set in the center.
- Cool completely before slicing. I know it’s hard. Be strong.
- Slice into 9 squares and admire your protein-powered masterpiece.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not blending enough. If it’s lumpy, it won’t bake evenly. Blend like you mean it.
- Using watery cottage cheese. Drain excess liquid first if needed.
- Slicing too early. Hot bread = crumbly mess. Let it cool.
- Skipping parchment paper. Unless you enjoy regret.
Alternatives & Substitutions
Want to switch it up? I respect that.
- Add a pinch of salt if your cottage cheese is low-sodium.
- Mix in garlic powder + Italian seasoning for savory vibes.
- Add a tablespoon of honey if you want subtle sweetness.
- Use low-fat cottage cheese if that’s what you have — texture will be slightly lighter.
IMO, full-fat gives the best structure and flavor. But you do you.
