Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Looking for a delicious, protein-packed alternative to traditional bread? Cottage cheese flatbread may be for you. Made from three basic ingredients plus seasonings, this soft, flexible flatbread is perfect to use for your favorite sandwiches and wraps!
Equipment
- 1 Food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoons each garlic powder, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: sprinkle of Everything Bagel Seasoning (see notes)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Line a quarter sheet pan or 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside. (For easiest removal, very lightly spray or brush the parchment paper with olive oil.)
- Add all the ingredients except the bagel seasoning to a food processor or blender and process or blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Pour the batter into the center of the prepared pan, scraping it all out of the blender or processor. I let the batter spread itself into a rectangle, helping as needed by tilting the pan; use a spatula if needed. The batter should fill most of the pan but need not extend all the way to the sides. Lightly sprinkle the surface with the bagel seasoning, if using.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden. (It will look puffy but will quickly flatten out as it cools.) Remove from the oven and allow the flatbread to cool. Tip: You can cool the flatbread in the pan, or using the parchment, can transfer it to a baking rack. The parchment will keep underside damp (from the steam) so when cool, I peel off the paper and let the flatbread sit for a few minutes on the rack to dry out.
- Fill with your favorite sandwich ingredients, salads, or toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
The amount of sodium in cottage cheese can vary quite a lot depending on brand. While I don’t add more to the recipe by way of table or kosher salt, keep in mind that Everything Bagel Seasoning does have salt in it, which also varies according to brand used. You may wish to skip or use very lightly if sensitive to salt or using a higher sodium cottage cheese.
Optionally, if skipping the bagel seasoning but you still like the idea of a crunchy, seedy topping, use black and/or white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, roughly chopped sunflower seeds, pepitas, or a mix.
For a hint of herby flavor, add 1 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning to the blender along with other ingredients.
