Ingredients
Scale
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: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or paprika to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Blend Cottage Cheese: In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup of cottage cheese until smooth, eliminating any lumps for a uniform batter texture.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a mixing bowl, then add the almond flour, eggs, baking powder, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly until a batter forms.
- Add Seasonings: Stir in salt and any optional seasonings such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning until evenly incorporated.
- Spread Batter: Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet to form an even layer about 1/4 inch thick to ensure it cooks through without burning.
- Bake the Flatbread: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center feels firm to the touch.
- Optional Broil: For a crispier top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until the surface is golden and slightly bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve plain or topped with your favorite keto-friendly ingredients.
