Description

Quick Cottage Cheese Buns are soft, protein-packed, and super easy to make, requiring no yeast or rising time—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a light lunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional, for brushing)
  • Sesame seeds or herbs for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese and eggs. Mix until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Scoop dough into 6–8 mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Shape lightly into rounds.
  6. Brush tops with olive oil or butter if desired, and sprinkle with sesame seeds or herbs.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  8. Cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • You can add herbs or shredded cheese to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
