Cottage cheese keto sandwich loaf with an irregular seeded crust and two thick slices
TooGut pickFlexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Cottage cheese bread is everywhere because the dairy and eggs make an easy high-protein batter. The useful fix is psyllium and a proper rest. They absorb free moisture before baking, so the loaf cuts cleanly instead of squashing under the knife.

  • 300 gfull-fat cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Blend only the wet mix

Heat the oven to 175°C and line a 22 x 12 cm loaf tin. Blend cottage cheese and eggs until mostly smooth, leaving a little natural texture.

Let the batter thicken

Stir in almond meal, psyllium, baking powder, salt and two-thirds of the seeds. Rest for 10 minutes until the batter holds soft ridges.

Make an uneven seed crust

Spoon into the tin, level lightly and scatter the remaining seeds in a loose, non-uniform layer.

Bake the centre through

Bake for 48 to 52 minutes until deeply golden and firm through the middle. Cover loosely only if the seeds darken too quickly.

Cool before cutting

Stand for 15 minutes in the tin, then cool completely on a rack. Toasting the slices the next day makes the edges especially good.
