  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (or almond flour, or all-purpose flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Seasonings

  • Pinch of garlic powder
  • Pinch of Italian herbs
  • Pinch of dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat or Heat Skillet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking, or heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat if making the flatbread on the stovetop.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until you achieve a smooth consistency with no lumps.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional seasonings such as garlic powder, Italian herbs, or oregano until well combined into a batter.
  4. Shape Batter: Spread the batter evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a round or rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook: Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until it is golden brown and set. Alternatively, cook the batter in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the flatbread to cool slightly before slicing to maintain its shape. Serve warm or at room temperature as a protein-packed bread substitute.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with almond flour or all-purpose flour based on your dietary preferences.
  • Optional seasonings like garlic powder, Italian herbs, or oregano add additional flavor but can be omitted for a neutral taste.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly if making thicker or thinner flatbreads to ensure even cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This flatbread pairs well with dips, sandwiches, or as a base for pizzas.
