Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup almond flour (or coconut flour)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Olive oil, for drizzling
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the flatbreads.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly until a uniform batter forms.
- Portion Batter: Divide the batter into 2 to 4 portions depending on your preferred flatbread size for even cooking.
- Shape Flatbreads: Place each portion on the lined baking sheet and flatten it by hand to about 1/2 inch thickness to ensure even baking and the right texture.
- Add Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over each flatbread to enhance the flavor and encourage a crispy crust during baking.
- Bake: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the tops appear slightly crispy.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove from the oven and allow the flatbreads to cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh, herby finish.
Notes
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute cottage cheese with a vegan cream cheese and use coconut flour instead of almond flour.
- These flatbreads pair well with dips, soups, or as a base for open-faced sandwiches.
- Adjust the seasoning and herbs according to your taste preference for added variety.
- Ensure the batter is not too wet; if it is, add a little more almond or coconut flour to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
