# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it extends slightly beyond the edges. This prevents sticking and makes transferring your High Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe easier after baking.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup non-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp almond flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and free of any cottage cheese lumps.
03 -
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread it evenly into a thin rectangle, approximately 8x10 inches. This forms the perfect base for your High Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe.
04 -
Bake the flatbread base for 20-25 minutes, or until it's golden brown around the edges and firm to the touch. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the flatbread cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before handling.
05 -
While the flatbread cools, prepare your fresh toppings. Halve 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, thinly slice 1/4 cup red onion, and chop 2 tbsp fresh dill. Have 1 cup baby spinach and 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese ready for assembly.
06 -
Carefully slide the baked flatbread onto a cutting board. Drizzle with 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil. Evenly scatter 1 cup baby spinach, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, and 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh dill and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Slice and enjoy your High Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Customization Tip: Feel free to customize your flatbread with other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives. Different cheeses like goat cheese or mozzarella also work wonderfully.
02 -
Serving Suggestion: This versatile flatbread is perfect for a light lunch, a satisfying snack, or even a unique high-protein breakfast. Serve it warm or at room temperature.
03 -
Storage Tip: While best enjoyed fresh, leftover flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven for best texture.
04 -
Blending Tip: Ensure your cottage cheese mixture is completely smooth for the best flatbread texture. Any remaining lumps can make the flatbread less cohesive.
