Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (small curds recommended)
- 3 large Eggs (binds and enrich)
- 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen, plump)
Leavening and Flavor
- 1 tsp Baking Powder (essential for rise)
- 1 tbsp Sweetener (Sugar or Honey) (to taste)
- 1 pinch Salt
For Serving
- 1 tbsp Butter (for toasting)
- 1 tbsp Cream Cheese or Whipped Honey (for spreading)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Prepare batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well incorporated for a fluffy texture.
- Add dry ingredients: Gently fold in the baking powder, salt, and sweetener. Mix only until just combined to maintain airiness in the batter.
- Incorporate blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, distributing them evenly without crushing, preserving their shape and juiciness.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool bread: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing it to firm up and avoid sogginess.
- Serve: Once cooled, slice and toast with butter, then spread with cream cheese or whipped honey for a delicious finishing touch.
Notes
- Small curd cottage cheese works best for smooth blending and light texture.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if frozen, add them directly without thawing to avoid excess moisture.
- Adjust sweetener amount based on personal preference or substitute with a sugar alternative.
- For fluffier bread, avoid over-mixing once baking powder is added to retain air bubbles.
- Serve toasted and spread with cream cheese or honey for enhanced flavor and texture.
