What You’ll Need

Ingredients

- Eggs — act as the binder to give the bread structure.
- Optional seasonings — garlic powder, salt, pepper, dried herbs.
Step-By-Step: How To Make Cottage Cheese Bread Squares
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Blend the cottage cheese and eggs — Use a blender, food processor, or high-speed mixer to get a smooth batter. If you like, add a pinch of garlic powder or herbs at this stage.
- Pour onto a lined baking sheet — Spread evenly to form a thin rectangle (about 1/4″ thick).
- Bake for 30–40 minutes — You’re looking for light golden edges and a firm center.
- Cool and cut into squares — Let it rest so it doesn’t fall apart.
Once cooled, you can top these squares with jam, dip them in olive oil, layer with turkey and veggies, or stack cheese and greens for a savory treat.
Pro tip: Let it cool fully — this helps the texture set so your bread slices cleanly.
