Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
Seasoning:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Whisk 1 cup cottage cheese and 1 large egg in a medium bowl until smooth and fully combined.
- Add ½ cup almond flour and ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture. Stir until ingredients create a thick batter.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes into the bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Heat a non-stick skillet at medium temperature (350F). Lightly coat the surface with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Scoop ¼ cup batter into the hot skillet. Spread into a 4-inch round shape using the back of a spoon.
- Cook the first side for 3-4 minutes until edges turn golden brown and center looks set.
- Flip the flatbread carefully with a spatula. Cook the second side for 3-4 minutes until golden.
- Transfer the cooked flatbread to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter.
- Alternatively, preheat your oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drop ¼ cup portions of batter onto the sheet, spreading each into a 4-inch round with 2 inches between flatbreads.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are crispy and centers appear golden brown.
- Allow flatbreads to rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Cottage cheese delivers a protein boost and creates a soft, tender texture that makes these flatbreads unique from traditional recipes.
- Almond flour works perfectly for gluten-free diets and adds a subtle nutty flavor that complements the cheesy base.
- The spice blend can be customized based on personal preference, so experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning for variety.
- Cooking method matters: Skillet cooking creates crispy edges, while oven baking produces a more uniform texture, so choose based on your preference for browning and crunch.
