Ingredients
For the Flatbread (Makes 4-5 pieces):
-
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
-
2 large eggs
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
¼ cup almond flour or oat flour
-
¼ tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
-
½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
Optional Toppings:
-
Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, basil)
-
Extra shredded cheese
-
Crushed red pepper flakes for heat
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.
Notes
Blend Well – A smooth cottage cheese base ensures an even texture.
Cook Low & Slow – Prevents burning and allows the bread to cook through.
Customize Flavor – Add herbs, garlic, or onion powder to switch things up.
Use a Good Pan – A non-stick or well-seasoned skillet prevents sticking.
Double the Batch – These keep well and are great for meal prep.
