Notes
-
- Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Let the eggs and cottage cheese sit out for 15-20 minutes before starting.
- Ensure the egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks. This is essential for the fluffy texture.
- For sweet variations, add 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar substitute, and a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
- For savory variations, add garlic powder, fresh herbs, or shredded cheese to enhance flavor.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months.
