• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup almond flour or oat flour
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt

Tools You’ll Need
Blender or food processor
Mixing bowl
Non-stick skillet or griddle
Spatula
Measuring cups & spoons

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base
In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese and eggs.
Blend until smooth and creamy—about 30–45 seconds.

Step 2: Mix the Dough
Pour the blended mixture into a bowl.
Stir in Parmesan, flour, baking powder, salt, and any seasonings you’re using.
Mix until well combined; the batter should be pourable but slightly thick.

Step 3: Preheat the Skillet
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly grease with oil or spray if needed.

Step 4: Cook the Flatbread
Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet and spread it into a 6–7 inch circle.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and the underside is golden brown.
Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 5: Serve Warm or Store
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings or use as a wrap.
Let cool completely if storing for later use.
