Fluffy Cottage Cheese Garlic Rolls

Low-Carb Bread Alternative

Soft on the inside, lightly crisp on the outside, and packed with garlic flavor, these cottage cheese garlic rolls are a high-protein, low-carb alternative to traditional bread. They’re great as a side dish, snack, or quick breakfast option.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat recommended for best texture)

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • (Optional but recommended)

    • ½ tsp baking powder (extra fluffiness)

    • ½ tsp salt

    • ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

    • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan (extra cheesy flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Blend cottage cheese until smooth using a blender or food processor.

  3. In a bowl, combine:

    • Blended cottage cheese

    • Eggs

    • Minced garlic

  4. Stir in almond flour, salt, baking powder, and optional seasonings.

  5. Mix until a thick, scoopable dough forms.

  6. Scoop dough into 6–8 small rolls and place on the baking sheet.

  7. Sprinkle with herbs or cheese if desired.

  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown on top.

  9. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

  • Blending cottage cheese is key for a smooth dough
