Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture for the batter.
- Combine dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until a thick batter forms, with all ingredients fully incorporated.
- Heat skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Form flatbread: Scoop about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet. Use the back of the spoon or spatula to spread the batter into a round flat shape, approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.
- Cook first side: Cook the flatbread for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown and the edges begin to set.
- Flip and cook second side: Carefully flip the flatbread using a spatula and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, allowing it to cook through completely and develop a golden crust on the other side.
- Repeat and serve: Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet if needed between batches. Serve the flatbreads warm as a delicious base or snack.
Notes
- You can customize the seasoning by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese based on dietary preference; full-fat will yield a richer flavor.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated before adding batter to prevent sticking.
- This flatbread can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet for best texture.
- For a crispier texture, cook flatbreads slightly longer on each side, watching carefully to avoid burning.
