# Instructions:
01 -
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine 1 1/2 cups 2% milkfat cottage cheese and 1 large egg. Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This creates the essential protein-packed base.
02 -
Transfer the smooth cottage cheese mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup oat flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
03 -
Gently fold in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp dried oregano. Finally, add 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped. This infuses rich flavor into your High Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread.
04 -
Pour the flatbread batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the mixture evenly into a thin, rectangular layer, about 1/4-inch thick. Ensure consistent thickness for even baking.
05 -
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set and firm to the touch. The exact time may vary by oven. This step completes your delicious High Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread for Versatile Meals.
06 -
Carefully remove the flatbread from the oven. Let it cool on the baking sheet for at least 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cutting board. Slice into desired shapes and serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra crispy flatbread, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes after the initial cook time, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning.
02 -
Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or microwave.
03 -
Feel free to swap oat flour for almond flour for a gluten-free option, or use different dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for varied flavor profiles.
