Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsps Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: fresh herbs or everything bagel seasoning for topping
Instructions
- Preparation: Calibrate oven to 350F (175C) and arrange a silicone mat or parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Blending: Pulverize cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and salt in a blender until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Shaping: Transfer the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, meticulously spreading it into a thin, uniform circular or rectangular form approximately 1/4-inch thick.
- Seasoning: Optional herbs or selected seasonings can be delicately sprinkled across the surface for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Baking and Finishing: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the flatbread sets and develops a delicate golden hue. Allow a brief cooling period before carefully extracting from the pan. The versatile creation can serve as a flatbread, wrap, or innovative mini pizza foundation.
Notes
- Select creamy, low-moisture cottage cheese for a smoother, more consistent texture in your flatbread.
- Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese to prevent a soggy or wet flatbread base that won’t crisp properly.
- Try different dried herbs like oregano, basil, or za’atar to customize the flatbread’s flavor profile and make it more exciting.
- Roll thinner for a crispy, low-carb option or slightly thicker for a more bread-like texture suitable for different dietary preferences.
