Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for cooking
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine cottage cheese and eggs in a mixing bowl, whisking vigorously until achieving a uniform, creamy consistency.
- Incorporate almond flour, baking powder, and selected seasonings into the mixture, stirring carefully to create a dense, thick batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium temperature (around 350°F), lightly brushing the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Using a measuring spoon, transfer approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet, gently spreading it into a circular shape with the back of the spoon.
- Cook the flatbread for 3-4 minutes on the first side, watching for golden-brown edges and small bubbles forming on the surface.
- Carefully flip the flatbread and cook the reverse side for an additional 2-3 minutes until evenly colored and cooked through.
- Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, adding a light layer of oil between each flatbread to maintain pan condition.
- Once all flatbreads are prepared, arrange on a serving plate and garnish with fresh chopped herbs for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while warm to enjoy optimal texture and taste.
Notes
- Swap cottage cheese for Greek yogurt to create a tangier, protein-packed version that adds extra creaminess to the flatbread.
- Try different herbs like rosemary, thyme, or za’atar to customize the flavor profile and make each batch unique.
- Keep flatbreads low-carb by using almond flour, making them perfect for keto and gluten-free diets without sacrificing texture or taste.
- Cool flatbreads on a wire rack to prevent soggy bottoms and maintain crisp edges, ensuring a delightful crunch with every bite.
