Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp almond flour (or oat flour)
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning or dried herbs (optional)

Tools You’ll Need

• Blender or food processor
• Mixing bowl (optional if not blending everything together)
• Parchment paper
• Baking sheet
• Spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
3. Add cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional seasonings to a blender or food processor.
4. Blend until smooth and creamy—about 20–30 seconds. The batter should be pourable but not too thin.

Step 3: Pour and Spread
5. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Use a spatula to spread it into a thin oval or rectangular shape, about ¼ inch thick.
7. Try to keep it even so it bakes uniformly.

Step 4: Bake
8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the flatbread is set, golden around the edges, and slightly puffed.
9. For a crispier texture, bake an additional 2–3 minutes or broil for 1 minute (watch closely!).

Step 5: Cool and Serve
10. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing or lifting.
11. Use as a sandwich wrap, pizza crust, or dipper for hummus or tzatziki.

Tips for Perfect Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese – It gives a richer texture and better flavor.
Strain If Watery – If your cottage cheese is extra liquidy, strain it slightly before blending.
Add Herbs – Customize with dill, chives, oregano, or chili flakes.
Make It Cheesy – Add 2 tbsp of shredded mozzarella or parmesan for extra flavor.
Don’t Skip the Parchment – This ensures it won’t stick and makes cleanup easy.

Serving Suggestions
As a Wrap – Fill with grilled chicken, veggies, or turkey and roll it up.
Pizza Base – Top with marinara, cheese, and toppings, then broil.
Dipping Bread – Serve with hummus, guacamole, or spinach dip.
Breakfast Style – Spread with avocado or almond butter and top with eggs or banana slices.
Side Dish – Great with soups, salads, or roasted vegetables.

How to Store & Reheat
