Ingredients
1 cup (226g) cottage cheese (full-fat recommended)
1 large egg
1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, for firmer texture)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for savory applications)
1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)
Pinch of black pepper
Pinch of salt (adjust to taste, cottage cheese can be salty)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it lies flat.
Step 2: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, egg, cornstarch (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps of cottage cheese remain. This is crucial for a smooth High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread texture.
Step 3: Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin, rectangular or oval shape, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Aim for approximately 8x10 inches in size.
Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread is golden brown around the edges and firm to the touch. The surface should look set and slightly puffed.
Step 5: Once baked, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread cool on the parchment paper for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows it to firm up further, making it easier to handle and preventing it from tearing. You can gently peel it off the parchment paper once cool enough.
Step 6: Transfer the cooled High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread to a cutting board. Top with your desired sweet or savory ingredients. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread!
Notes
For best results, make sure your cottage cheese is blended completely smooth. If you don't have parchment paper, a well-greased silicone baking mat can work, but parchment is highly recommended for easy removal. Feel free to double the recipe to make two flatbreads if you want more servings or for meal prep throughout the week. This High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheated gently.
