Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup oat flour (or almond flour, or all-purpose flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional Seasonings
- Pinch of garlic powder
- Pinch of Italian herbs or dried oregano
- Pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika (for a spicy kick)
Optional Additions
- Shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese (for extra cheesy goodness)
- Additional dried herbs such as za’atar or cumin
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking, or heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat if cooking stovetop. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if baking to prevent sticking.
- Mix cottage cheese and eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients and seasonings: Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional seasonings or herbs you like until fully incorporated into a batter.
- Shape the flatbread: Spread the batter evenly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a round or rectangular flatbread about 1/4-inch thick. Alternatively, pour the batter onto the heated skillet and spread it into a round flat shape.
- Cook the flatbread: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes per side, until the flatbread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Let the flatbread cool slightly to firm up before slicing and serving. Enjoy it as a base for flatbread pizzas, wraps, or as a snack topped with avocado and chili flakes.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese before mixing with other ingredients.
- Add a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika for a spicy variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Flatbreads can be wrapped individually and frozen for up to 2 months; reheat in the oven or toaster.
- This flatbread makes a great base for pizzas, sandwiches, or for dipping into soups.
- Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese if it’s too watery to prevent a soggy flatbread.
