Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup almond flour (blanched, super-fine)
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 8×4 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This is crucial for easy slicing!

Savory Twist: Add 1 tsp of garlic powder, dried herbs, or shredded cheese to the batter.
Storage: Store the cooled loaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Slices can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Serving Tip: For the best texture and flavor, toast slices and top with avocado, cream cheese, or nut butter.
Dairy-Free Swap: For a dairy-free version, try substituting the cottage cheese with an equal amount of thick, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt (note: protein content will be lower).
