Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350ºF (177ºC) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the flatbread evenly.
- Blend the ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, forming the base batter for the flatbread.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour and spread the batter: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it out evenly, creating a flat, uniform layer.
- Add herbs and bake: Sprinkle oregano evenly over the top of the batter, then bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, depending on your oven’s strength, until the flatbread is set and lightly golden.
- Rest and serve: Once baked, let the flatbread rest for about five minutes to firm up before using it as a wrap, sandwich base, or pizza crust. Enjoy warm with your preferred toppings or fillings.
Notes
- You can omit garlic and onion powder if you prefer a more neutral taste.
- This flatbread works great as a gluten-free and low-carb alternative to traditional bread.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven to avoid overbaking at the edges.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and flavor.
- Leftover flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add herbs or spices of your choice for extra flavor.
