(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, I line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, I combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and any seasonings I want to add. I blend everything until smooth and well combined.
3. Pour and Spread: I pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, I spread it evenly into a rectangular or circular shape, making sure the thickness is consistent.
4. Bake: I place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the flatbread for 25-35 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and is cooked through. I start checking at the 25-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
5. Cool and Serve: After baking, I remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting it or using it however I like.

Variations

This flatbread recipe is so versatile! I like to experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian herbs to add extra flavor. You could also add a sprinkle of grated cheese into the batter for a cheesy twist. For a more savory version, try mixing in some chopped spinach or herbs like parsley or rosemary before baking.

Storage/Reheating

Once cooled, I store the flatbread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. If I want to reheat it, I simply pop it in the oven for a few minutes to warm it up, or I can use a toaster oven for a crispy finish. I also like to freeze any leftover flatbread for later use – just wrap each piece in parchment paper and store in a freezer bag. To reheat from frozen, I bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese for this recipe?

Yes! You can use low-fat cottage cheese if you prefer, though it might slightly affect the texture. The flavor will still be delicious!

Can I make this flatbread without eggs?

If you’re looking for an egg-free version, I haven’t tried it personally, but you might be able to substitute the eggs with flax eggs or chia eggs for a similar texture. However, keep in mind that it may alter the flavor and texture slightly.

How thick should the flatbread be when I spread it on the baking sheet?

I like to spread it evenly to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. The flatbread will puff up slightly during baking, but you want to make sure it’s not too thick, or it might take longer to cook through.

Can I make this flatbread in a pan instead of the oven?

Yes, you can! If you don’t want to use the oven, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then pour in the batter. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. This method will yield a slightly different texture, but it works well for a quicker, stovetop version.

How can I make this recipe more flavorful?

I like to add seasoning such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs directly into the batter for a boost of flavor. You can also top it with cheese, sautéed veggies, or a protein for a heartier meal.
