Flatbread Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup almond flour (or coconut flour)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Olive oil, for drizzling
For Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a hot environment for baking the flatbreads to crisp perfection.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and provide an easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until a uniform batter forms.
- Shape Flatbreads: Divide the batter into 2 to 4 portions depending on your preferred size. Place each portion onto the lined baking sheet and flatten with your hands or a spatula to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over each flatbread portion to enhance flavor and promote a golden crisp texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Monitor closely and remove once the edges are golden brown and the top looks slightly crispy.
- Cool and Garnish: Allow the flatbreads to cool for a few minutes after baking. Then garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh aromatic touch.
- Serve: Enjoy warm as a high-protein, low-carb bread alternative, perfect for toppings or eating plain.
Notes
- For extra crispy flatbreads, ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking and watch closely as baking times may vary.
- Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze leftovers by layering with parchment paper in a ziplock bag; thaw before reheating.
- Experiment with various toppings such as hummus, avocado, or turkey slices for a quick snack or meal.
- Do not skip the olive oil drizzle—it enhances flavor and texture; flavored olive oil adds a fun twist.
