Main Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional Seasonings
- Garlic powder (to taste)
- Italian seasoning (to taste)
- Paprika (to taste)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Blend Cottage Cheese: In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese until smooth, eliminating lumps for a uniform texture.
- Mix Batter: Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup almond flour, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
- Add Seasonings: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and any desired optional seasonings such as garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or paprika until fully incorporated.
- Spread Batter: Using a spatula, spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch to ensure proper cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, until the edges become golden brown and the center feels firm to the touch.
- Optional Crisping: For a crispier texture, broil the flatbread for an additional 1–2 minutes until the surface is golden and slightly bubbly. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve plain or top with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.
Notes
- Blend the cottage cheese for a smooth texture.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Spread the batter evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Watch the broiler closely to avoid burning.
- Experiment with toppings like avocado, smoked salmon, or cream cheese.
