# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it extends slightly over the edges for easy handling. This prepares the base for your delicious High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups 2% low-fat cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
03 -
Stir in 1 tsp dried oregano and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (if using) into the blended mixture. Pour the entire mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly into a thin rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick, forming the base for your High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread.
04 -
Bake the cottage cheese base for 15 minutes, or until it's firm to the touch and lightly golden around the edges. This creates the sturdy foundation for your High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread.
05 -
Carefully remove the partially baked flatbread from the oven. Evenly scatter 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1 cup packed fresh spinach, 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1/4 small thinly sliced red onion over the surface.
06 -
Return the High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the feta is slightly softened. Drizzle with 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra smooth flatbread base, ensure you blend the cottage cheese mixture until absolutely no lumps remain. A high-speed blender works best.
02 -
Get creative with your toppings! Feel free to substitute cherry tomatoes and spinach with other favorites like sliced bell peppers, Kalamata olives, or even a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
03 -
Leftover High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or microwave.
04 -
