I was immediately intrigued by the viral cottage cheese bread when I first saw it on TikTok. My first thought was that a bread like this could easily add protein to my morning, which is usually the hardest time to get enough protein.
The next morning, I decided to make it, and it was incredibly quick to prepare. Simply add the two ingredients to a blender, spread the mixture on a baking sheet, and bake for approximately 40 minutes. It couldn’t be easier!
To my surprise, the taste and texture were great. I also added Everything But the Bagel seasoning, which gave it a fantastic flavor.
Honestly, because the ingredients are so simple, you can add different seasonings and any filling you want!
Make it sweet or savory and eat it at any time of the day.
The Ingredients
Let’s talk about the ingredients for a moment.
Cottage cheese: For this recipe, it’s best to use 2% or full-fat cottage cheese. I used 2% because that’s what I usually have on hand. It’s already salty enough, so you don’t need to add any extra salt.
Eggs: This will help bind the bread and will add protein.
You can also add the seasoning of your choice for a kick of flavor.

An old favorite with a twist.
Make your favorite sandwich using this viral cottage cheese bread. Spread a thin layer of light mayonnaise and mustard over the bread for added flavor.
Layer slices of turkey breast alternated with your choice of cheese, such as Swiss or cheddar. Add crisp lettuce, juicy tomato slices, and jalapeno slices for a quick punch of extra flavor. Fold the bread in half, cut the sandwich into two pieces, if desired, and enjoy your satisfying meal.

Spread a thin layer of pesto sauce over the bread. Layer slices of your rotisserie chicken on top, and a slice of your favorite cheese, if desired.
If you have a small toaster oven, you can warm the sandwich to melt the cheese. Add a handful of baby spinach leaves and sliced tomato. Slice it in half, if you want, and enjoy.
