Description
A cozy and nutritious flatbread made with cottage cheese, perfect for a healthy breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat/gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and add in the cottage cheese and olive oil or melted butter. Stir until smooth.
- Incorporate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Knead the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and gently knead the dough for just a minute until it comes together.
- Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into four equal portions and shape each one into a flat disc about half an inch thick.
- Cook on a Hot Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook each flatbread for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Toppings: Once cooked, top with your favorite ingredients—think sautéed mushrooms, fresh herbs, or honey—and dig in!
Notes
Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for up to three months.
