Ingredients

1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
1 large egg (room temperature preferred)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Add the cottage cheese and egg to a blender or food processor. Blend for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible curds.
Step 3: Pour the smooth mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into a circle about 8 to 10 inches wide and ¼ inch thick.
Step 4: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown and the center feels set when lightly touched.
Step 5: Let the flatbread cool for 2 to 3 minutes before adding toppings or slicing to keep toppings from sliding off.

Tips & Variations

Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor.
Allow cottage cheese to come to room temperature before blending for a fluffier flatbread.
Optional: Add ⅛ teaspoon of baking powder to the mixture for extra lift.
Try different toppings such as herbs, cheese, or avocado to customize your flatbread.

Storage

Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm in a toaster oven or regular oven until heated through and crispy again.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese instead of full-fat?

Yes, you can use lower-fat versions, but full-fat cottage cheese gives the best texture and flavor. Low-fat options may result in a less soft and slightly drier flatbread.

Do I have to use a blender or food processor?

While blending ensures a smooth mixture without curds, you can try mashing the cottage cheese thoroughly with a fork or whisk before mixing with the egg, but the texture may be less uniform.
