Keto Cottage Cheese 90-Second Bread

Have you ever wanted a warm piece of toast in the morning without all the carbs? Today I want to show you how to make this easy keto cottage cheese 90-second bread.

When you follow a keto friendly meal plan, finding good bread replacements can take a lot of trial and error. Many store options are expensive or have strange textures that feel dry.

That is why this recipe is one of my favorites to make on busy weekdays. It comes together in just a few minutes using simple pantry staples.

The texture turns out soft and fluffy on the inside, especially after you pop it in a pan with a little butter to get that golden crust.

If you are looking for a reliable low carb option for your morning eggs or an afternoon sandwich, this one is definitely worth a try.

Recipe Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 tbsp Butter, Melted
• 1/4 cup Blanched Almond Flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 pinch Sea Salt
• 2 tsp Butter, For Toasting

How To Make

Step 1

Add the cottage cheese to a 4-inch microwave-safe ramekin or wide mug and mash it with a fork until mostly smooth. Whisk in the egg and the melted butter until well combined.

Step 2

Add the almond flour, baking powder and sea salt. Stir until the batter is smooth with no dry pockets, then tap the ramekin on the counter to level the top.

Step 3

Microwave on high for 90 seconds, until the bread is puffed and the center feels set and springy. If the center still looks wet, microwave for 10 to 15 seconds more.

Step 4

Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and let it cool for 2 minutes, then slice it in half horizontally to make 2 rounds.

Step 5

Melt the 2 tsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the slices for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp on the outside.

Tips

Mash the Curds Really Well

From my experience, you want to mash the cottage cheese until there are almost no large curds left in the dish.

If the chunks stay too big, they melt into wet pockets instead of mixing smoothly into the batter. This can leave you with a soggy spot right in the center of your bread.

Using small curd cottage cheese makes this step much easier and gives you a uniform, bread-like texture.

Pick a Flat-Bottomed Dish

I recommend using a straight-sided ramekin with a flat bottom instead of a standard coffee mug.

Most mugs have sloped or narrow bottoms, which forces the batter into an uneven shape that cooks faster on the edges than in the middle.

A 4-inch round dish gives your bread the classic shape of an English muffin and lets the heat cook everything at the same pace.

Stick with Fine Blanched Flour

You will get the best results if you use super-fine blanched almond flour instead of coarse almond meal.

Almond meal includes the brown skins and leaves behind a grainy texture that feels heavy in a quick microwave bread.

Fine blanched flour blends completely into the wet ingredients so your finished round rises high and feels soft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this bread taste eggy or like cottage cheese?

Toasting the bread in a skillet removes any eggy flavor and leaves you with a rich, buttery taste.

The cottage cheese curds melt completely into the crumb as it cooks, so you will not notice any chunks or sourness.
