Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C), preparing a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Transfer cottage cheese and eggs into a blender, processing until the mixture transforms into a completely uniform, silky consistency.
- Carefully pour the smooth blended mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, using a spatula to distribute evenly into an ultrathin layer, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, allowing the flatbread to bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges develop a delicate golden hue and the surface appears fully set.
- Once removed from the oven, permit the flatbread to rest and slightly cool for 2-3 minutes, which helps stabilize its structure.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the flatbread into desired geometric shapes – squares, triangles, or rectangles according to your preference.
- Serve immediately as a versatile base for wraps, pizza, or enjoy with spreads, dips, or as a standalone light bread alternative.
Notes
- Moisture Control: Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese using a cheesecloth to prevent a soggy flatbread texture.
- Protein Boost: Use full-fat cottage cheese for higher protein content and richer flavor profile.
- Versatile Seasoning: Sprinkle herbs like dried oregano, garlic powder, or za’atar before baking to enhance taste without adding calories.
- Gluten-Free Option: This naturally gluten-free recipe works perfectly for those with wheat sensitivities or celiac diet requirements.
