Keto Cottage Cheese Flatbread (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Flatbread Base
01 -
½ cup full fat cottage cheese (Good Culture brand works well)
02 -
1 large egg
03 -
1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese
04 -
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, but adds great flavor)
05 -
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by turning your oven on to 350°F to preheat. While that's warming up, grab an 8x8 baking pan and line it with a piece of parchment paper. Make sure the paper comes up the sides a bit for easy removal later. Give the parchment a light spray with cooking oil to prevent sticking – trust me, this makes a huge difference!
02 -
Toss your cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan, and seasonings (if using) into a blender or food processor. You want everything completely smooth with no lumps of cottage cheese remaining, so pulse it several times, scraping down the sides if needed. When it looks like a thin pancake batter, you're good to go.
03 -
Pour this creamy mixture into your prepared pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly into all corners, making sure it's roughly the same thickness throughout. This helps it bake evenly and prevents any super thin spots that might burn.
04 -
Slide your pan into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes. You'll know it's done when the edges start to turn a light golden brown and pull away slightly from the sides. The center should be set and no longer jiggly when you gently shake the pan.
05 -
Once baked, pull it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes – about 3-5 minutes is perfect. It needs this brief cooling period to set up properly, but don't wait too long or it might stick more to the paper.
06 -
Carefully lift the parchment paper with the flatbread out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board, then gently slide a thin spatula between the flatbread and paper to loosen it. Starting at one corner, slowly peel the flatbread away from the paper – patience is key here!
07 -
Now the fun part – using your flatbread! It's wonderfully versatile. Fold it around fillings for a wrap, use it as a pizza base, cut it into triangles for dipping, or fold it quesadilla-style with cheese and toppings. My personal favorite is using it for breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs and avocado. The mild cheese flavor works with just about anything you can dream up!
# Notes:
01 -
This flatbread has only 4g net carbs per serving, making it perfect for keto and low-carb diets. It's also naturally gluten-free and packed with protein from the cottage cheese and egg.
02 -
For the best texture, make sure your cottage cheese and egg are fully blended until smooth. Any lumps will affect the final consistency of your flatbread.
03 -
Feel free to add different seasonings to customize the flavor - Italian herbs, everything bagel seasoning, or a pinch of cayenne for heat all work beautifully with this base recipe.
