Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup low-sodium Cottage Cheese
  • 2 large Eggs (or 4 egg whites for a lighter option)

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (customize based on preference)
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of low-sodium cottage cheese with 2 large eggs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and smooth. For a lighter version, substitute the eggs with 4 egg whites.
  3. Add Seasonings: Incorporate 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning into the mixture. Adjust seasoning to your taste preferences.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a baking sheet lightly to prevent sticking, then spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the surface to form a flatbread shape.
  5. Optional Topping: Lightly dust the top of the mixture with 1 teaspoon of oregano for additional flavor, if desired.
  6. Bake Flatbread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the flatbread turns golden brown on top and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the flatbread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into portions and serving.
