Ingredients
-
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)
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.
Notes
- 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.
