Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ¾ cup cottage cheese Choose full- or low-fat.
  • 1 large egg At room temperature for even cooking.
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Pure extract is preferred.
  • ¼ cup blueberries Fresh or frozen.
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour For added texture.
  • ½ teaspoon sweetener of choice Optional for sweetness.
  • pinch cinnamon or lemon zest Enhances flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a single ramekin with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in the almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon, or lemon zest if using.
  3. Gently fold in the blueberries, then pour the mixture into the prepared ramekin.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-28 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set with a slight jiggle.
  2. Cool for 5 minutes before serving warm or chill for a firmer texture.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing the batter to maintain the curd texture of the cottage cheese. Adjust baking time if using a larger dish. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
