Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 3 pieces eggs
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups dill, fresh and chopped
- 0.5 cups green onions, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons pepper
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the chopped dill, green onions, salt, pepper, and grated parmesan cheese (if using) to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the herbs and seasonings.
In a separate small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Ensuring the surface is smooth will help the loaf bake uniformly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. This loaf pairs beautifully with a side salad, soup, or a dollop of sour cream.
