You can serve these keto cottage cheese sandwich buns with almost any kind of sandwich. This bread makes for a great snack all on its own. It’s also great served topped with butter and keto jam.
Let’s talk about cottage cheese!
Cottage cheese is a fresh soft cheese which has a mild and slightly tangy taste. It’s also incredibly creamy! I recommend checking nutritional labels when buying cottage cheese as the carb count will vary based on the brand you use and on the fat content. Typically, you’ll find the higher the fat content, the lower the carb count. I look for ½ cup serving to contain 3-4 net grams of carbs. You’ll also want to make sure you’re using plain cottage cheese as added ingredients will increase the carb count quite a bit. Cottage cheese is a great source of protein and also contains some important nutrients and vitamins. It’s amazing served just as is, but can also be used to make breads such as this, and it adds a rich and creamy element to dishes such as casseroles and even when added to egg salad or scrambled eggs.
What other ingredients go into these keto cottage cheese sandwich buns?
The dry ingredients that go into these buns include almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Almond flour is a great keto option as it simply consists of finely ground blanched almonds. The baking powder helps to create a lighter bread, and the garlic powder gives these buns a nice mild garlic flavor. The salt then adds just the right savory touch to these buns. We also add two eggs which act as a binder for our buns, and they also add moisture to them. Last, we add cheese to our cottage cheese buns. You can use cheddar cheese either mild, medium, or sharp. You can also use white cheddar cheese if you’d like. Another great option is to use colby jack cheese. Whichever cheese you use, I highly recommend buying a block of cheese and shredding it yourself as this melts the best.
What are some ways I can serve these keto cottage cheese sandwich buns?
You have some awesome options for serving these keto buns! You can use them to make all kinds of delicious keto sandwiches. They work equally well for cold and hot sandwiches. You can load them up with cold meats, cheese, and your favorite toppings such as lettuce and tomatoes. They also can be used to make a fantastic BLT. You’ll be happy how well they hold up for burgers as well! I love the light and airy quality of this bread and love to top it with some keto jelly as a special treat! It can also be served with all your breakfast favorites such as bacon and eggs, omelets, and crustless quiches! You can also serve this as a bread side to serve with all your favorite keto meals and with keto soups!
