Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese blended smooth
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ to ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese plus extra for topping
  • 1 to 2 jalapeños finely diced
  • Optional 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line a loaf pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until evenly combined.
  • Blend cottage cheese smooth, then mix into dry ingredients to form a soft dough, adding flour if too sticky.
  • Fold in cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños until evenly distributed.
  • Press dough into a loaf pan or shape into logs, smoothing the surface.
  • Brush with egg wash if desired and sprinkle extra cheese and jalapeños on top.
  • Bake 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown, crisp outside and soft inside.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing so it holds together.
