This avocado cottage cheese bread is high protein, low carb and keto-friendly. It needs just 3 ingredients and less than five minutes to prepare. It is a great low carb bread alternative, especially for making sandwiches.
This bread is a variation on the popular 3 ingredient avocado bread, adding cottage cheese to the bread. I really enjoy this version. You can eat it on its own or use it for making sandwiches.
Ingredients
- Avocado
- Cottage Cheese
- Egg
Avocado: This recipe uses one large avocado.
Cottage cheese: I used 4% milkfat cottage cheese but you should also be able to use low fat cottage cheese. I recommend using a high protein one like Good Culture brand. If you don’t want to use cottage cheese, I have also made a version using mozzarella.
Egg: Egg is added to act as a binder.
How to Make Avocado Cottage Cheese Bread
- The avocado, cottage cheese and egg are all blended together in a food processor until smooth.
- Spoon the avocado mixture to make rounds on your prepared baking sheet. The rounds should be about 3.5 inches in diameter and you should have enough to make six of them.
- Bake avocado bread until the bread is golden brown on top. Let breads cool and then they are ready to eat. I like snacking on them plain or using them to make sandwiches.
Texture
This bread does not have the texture of traditional bread. It is thinner, soft and more like a flatbread. I still think they work as a good bread alternative and work well for sandwiches.

3 Ingredient Avocado Cottage Cheese Bread
Ingredients
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 cup (128 g) cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add avocado, cottage cheese and egg to a food processor and mix until fully smooth.
- Divide the batter into six equal portions and shape each portion into about 3 1/2 - 3 3/4 inch rounds on the prepared baking sheet. I used the back of a metal spoon to spread out the batter into rounds on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread rounds are cooked and lightly golden on the surface. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving. Store any uneaten bread in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- You want to choose ripe avocados so they are soft enough to be mashed. However avoid using overripe avocados which tend to become more bitter when cooked.
- You can add herbs and seasonings to add more flavor to the bread, such as Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or chili powder.
- You can also add sesame seeds or bagel seasoning on top.
- I used 4% milkfat cottage cheese but it should also work with low fat. Try to choose a cottage cheese with a high amount of protein. I used Good Culture brand (Amazon | Target)* which contains 14 grams or protein per 1/2 cup.
