Main Ingredients
- 2 cups (428 g) cottage cheese, 4% milkfat (can also use low fat)
- 4 large eggs
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a half sheet pan (18 x 13 inches) with enough parchment paper to cover the bottom and edges, then spray the parchment lightly with cooking oil to prevent sticking and help the flatbread release easily later.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the cottage cheese and eggs into a food processor or blender. If using any seasonings or additional cheeses, add them now. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
- Spread Mixture: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly, leaving about a ½ inch border from the edge. Try to keep the edges as straight as possible for a rectangular shape.
- Bake: Bake the flatbread for 35-40 minutes or until the surface develops a golden brown color. Because the flatbread is moist, it is okay to bake it a little longer to get a nice crust.
- Cool: Allow the flatbread to cool completely in the pan before removing it to prevent breaking. Once cooled, gently peel or roll the flatbread off the parchment paper.
- Slice and Store: Cut the flatbread in half to make two large flatbreads suitable for sandwiches, or quarter it for smaller sandwich portions. Store any leftovers in the fridge for freshness.
Notes
- You can use low-fat cottage cheese instead of 4% milkfat cottage cheese for a lighter version.
- Adding herbs, spices, or other cheeses is optional and can be blended with the base ingredients for added flavor.
- Ensure the flatbread is fully cooled before removing from parchment to avoid breaking.
- This flatbread serves well as a gluten-free, low-carb bread alternative.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
