1-First, preheat the oven to 300 Fahrenheit (150 Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper lightly greased with oil. This step sets the stage for even baking and prevents sticking. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites with cream of tartar in a clean, dry bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, which takes at least 2 minutes; for tips on this, see how to whip egg whites.

2-Next, blend the egg yolks with the cottage cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, herbs, and salt until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Gradually fold the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula, taking care to preserve the air bubbles. Spoon the mixture into 6 circular disks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space around each one, and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the top feels springy when gently pressed.

3-Finally, allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before removing. The total preparation time is about 30 to 40 minutes, with just 5 minutes of prep. For those wanting more ideas, try incorporating it into meals like our roasted veggie black bean tacos for a low-carb twist.
