Directions

1. Prepare the Mixture:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
   • Add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the mixture forms a thick, smooth batter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Heat the Pan:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of olive oil, ensuring it evenly coats the surface.
3. Cook the Flatbread:
   • Pour approximately ¼ cup of the batter into the preheated pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to gently spread it into a round or oval shape.
   • Cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges. The flatbread will puff up slightly as it cooks.
4. Repeat the Process:
   • Continue with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil as needed for each new flatbread. Adjust the heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
