Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese, drained well
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the drained cottage cheese and egg yolks into a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- In a separate, clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold one-third of the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture to lighten it.
- Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Do not overmix; you want to keep the air in the mixture.
- Spoon six equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. You can shape them into rounds or ovals.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before handling.
Notes
- Draining the cottage cheese is important for achieving the correct texture. Press excess moisture out with a paper towel if needed.
- For best results, use room temperature eggs.
- If you do not have cream of tartar, you can substitute it with 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice.
