Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (or oat flour for a slightly different texture)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • Optional toppings: sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, everything bagel seasoning

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

    2. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps of cottage cheese remain. This creates the essential batter for your flatbread.

    3. Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the batter evenly into a thin, rectangular or oval shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Aim for a consistent thickness to ensure even cooking.

    4. Bake the flatbread for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the surface looks mostly firm. It should still be pale at this stage.

    5. If you’re adding toppings like cherry tomatoes, spinach, or feta, carefully remove the flatbread from the oven. Arrange your desired toppings over the partially baked flatbread.

    6. Return the flatbread to the oven and continue baking for another 5-8 minutes, or until the flatbread is golden brown around the edges, cooked through, and the toppings are warmed. The center should feel firm to the touch.

    7. Once baked, remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This helps it firm up and makes it easier to handle. Slice into desired portions and serve warm.
