Ingredients
-
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
-
4 large eggs, separated
-
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
-
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
-
Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
-
Blend the cottage cheese, egg yolks, honey (if using), vanilla, and salt until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the air.
-
Lightly fold in the blueberries and optional lemon zest.
-
Scoop the batter onto the baking sheet in mounds.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed.
-
Let cool slightly before serving — enjoy!!
Notes
-
For best results, use fresh blueberries to avoid extra moisture.
-
If using frozen berries, lightly dust them with flour before folding in.
-
Don’t skip the cream of tartar — it helps create that dreamy, fluffy texture!
-
These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
-
They reheat best in the oven or toaster, not the microwave.
