Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or preheat a skillet if making on the stove.
-
In a blender or food processor, add cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings.
-
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Bake the Flatbread (Oven Method)
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
-
Pour the blended batter into the center and spread into an even circle or rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.
-
Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the top is set and edges are golden.
-
Let it cool slightly, then gently peel it off the parchment.
Step 3: Cook on the Stove (Skillet Method)
-
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
-
Pour half the batter to form a flatbread circle.
-
Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and firm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 4: Serve or Store
-
Slice into wedges or use whole as a wrap.
-
Serve warm or room temp with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese – For the creamiest texture and best flavor.
Don’t Skip the Blend – Ensures the batter is smooth and cohesive.
Watch the Edges – They should be lightly golden when it’s done.
Add Cheese on Top – For a cheesy version, sprinkle extra cheese before baking.
Let It Cool – Makes it easier to handle and slice.
