Ingredients
Gather Your Magic Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, for better structure)
- 1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of sweetener (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare – Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls.
- Whip the Egg Whites – Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the Base – In the yolk bowl, mix in the blended cottage cheese, salt, cornstarch (if using), and honey or sweetener (if using). Stir until smooth.
- Fold Gently – Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds, using a spatula to retain as much air as possible for a fluffy texture.
- Shape & Form – Scoop the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, forming 6–8 small rounds or larger pieces. Shape evenly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake to Perfection – Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Allow to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For Extra Fluffiness – Use room-temperature eggs for better volume.
- Keep it Light – Fold gently to maintain airiness in the batter.
- Bake Immediately – Mix and shape quickly to avoid deflation.
- Add Flavor – Try adding herbs, garlic powder, or a sprinkle of cheese for a savory twist.
