Cottage Cheese Flatbread

Picture warm, pillowy flatbreads fresh off the griddle, with a subtle cheesy aroma filling your kitchen. This protein-packed cottage cheese flatbread combines the comfort of traditional bread with clever, nutritious ingredients. It's the kind of recipe that makes you wonder why you haven't been making it all along.

Last weekend, I served these at a brunch gathering, and my gluten-free friend nearly cried - she'd been missing good bread for years. The secret? That magical combination of cottage cheese and almond flour that creates the perfect texture.

Essential Ingredients & Selection Tips

• Cottage Cheese: Full-fat works best for a richer taste and better texture
• Almond Flour: Look for fine-ground blanched variety for the smoothest results
• Fresh Eggs: Room temperature eggs blend more easily with other ingredients
• Baking Powder: Check it's fresh for the best rise
• Seasonings: Garlic and onion powder add depth without overpowering

The first time I made these, I was skeptical about cottage cheese in flatbread. Now I keep cottage cheese in my fridge specifically for this recipe. They've become my go-to when I want something more substantial than lettuce wraps but healthier than regular bread.

Creative Ways To Serve

Some mornings I'll top them with scrambled eggs and avocado. For lunch, they make perfect sandwich wraps. Once, I even turned them into mini pizzas for my kids' afternoon snack - they never guessed they were eating something so healthy.
