Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Cottage Cheese full fat
  • 4 Eggs separated
  • 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries fresh or frozen, patted dry
  • 2 tbsp Powdered Sweetener erythritol or monk fruit
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Equipment

  • - Mixing bowls
  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • - Spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Crack your eggs, placing the whites in a large, clean glass or metal bowl and the yolks in another. Be very careful not to get any yolk in the whites.
  2. Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the whites on medium-high speed until they reach stiff peaks.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and your chosen sweetener. Gently whisk in the cornstarch.
  4. Take a large spatula and gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites. Use a 'round and through' motion. Fold in your fresh blueberries last, handling them like precious gems.
  5. Scoop the batter onto your prepared baking sheet in six to eight mounds. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Let the bread sit on the pan for at least ten minutes. They will deflate just a little, which is perfectly normal.

Notes

For a smoother texture, you can pulse the cottage cheese in a blender first. If you want a bright, citrusy zing, add a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest to the yolk mixture. For a spicy twist, add a tiny pinch of cinnamon or cardamom.
