Ingredients
¼ cup cottage cheese
1 large egg
3 tbsp almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat Oven or Air Fryer:
Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
Air Fryer: Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
Mix Ingredients:
In a small bowl, whisk together cottage cheese and egg until smooth. Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
Shape & Bake:
Spoon the batter onto a parchment-lined small baking dish, ramekin, or silicone muffin cup. Smooth the top slightly.
Bake or Air Fry:
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until puffed and golden on top.
Air fry for 10–12 minutes until set and lightly golden.
Serve:
Let cool slightly. Slice in half and use for a breakfast sandwich, or enjoy warm with butter, jam, or avocado.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and richness.
Want more fluff? Let the batter sit for 5 minutes before baking.
Add-ins: shredded cheese, herbs, or a dash of garlic powder for flavor variations.
Make a double batch and refrigerate for 2–3 days for quick morning meals.
