Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe

Introduction

This Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread is a quick and healthy alternative to traditional bread, perfect for a light snack or base for your favorite toppings. With just two simple ingredients, it’s easy to make and naturally high in protein.

Ingredients

• 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
• 1 large egg, room temperature preferred

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Add the cottage cheese and egg to a blender or food processor. Blend for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible curds.
3. Step 3: Pour the smooth mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into a circle about 8-10 inches wide and ¼ inch thick.
4. Step 4: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center feels set when lightly touched.
5. Step 5: Let the flatbread cool for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings or slicing to prevent toppings from sliding off.

Tips & Variations

• For a crispier crust, bake a few extra minutes until golden and firm.
• Try adding herbs like rosemary or oregano to the batter for extra flavor.
• Use the flatbread as a base for pizza toppings, avocado toast, or as a side with soups and salads.
• Swap the full-fat cottage cheese for low-fat if you prefer a lighter version, though texture may vary slightly.

Storage

Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or skillet to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Flatbread Base

• 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
• 1 large egg, room temperature

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
2. Blend Ingredients: Add the full-fat cottage cheese and the room temperature large egg to a blender or food processor. Blend for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, with no visible curds of cottage cheese remaining. This ensures a smooth and even flatbread texture.
3. Shape the Flatbread: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it into a circle approximately 8 to 10 inches wide and about ¼ inch thick. Ensure it is evenly spread to bake uniformly.
4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the center feels set when lightly touched. This indicates the flatbread is fully cooked and ready.
5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the flatbread cool for 2-3 minutes. Cooling helps to firm it slightly, preventing toppings from sliding off. You can then add your favorite toppings or slice and serve as desired.

Notes

• Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor in the flatbread.
• Ensure the egg is at room temperature to blend more evenly.
• Allow the flatbread to cool slightly before adding toppings to avoid sogginess.
• The flatbread can be customized with a variety of toppings such as herbs, vegetables, or meats after baking.
• This recipe is naturally gluten-free and high in protein.
