# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with 1 tsp olive oil. This ensures your High Protein 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread won't stick and bakes evenly for a perfect result.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup 2% low-fat cottage cheese and 2 large eggs. Blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure no lumps remain for a uniform High Protein 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread batter.
03 -
Add 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the blended mixture. Also, incorporate 1/4 tsp baking powder. Blend again briefly until just combined.
04 -
Pour the seasoned cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin rectangle or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Aim for consistent thickness to ensure even cooking of your High Protein 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread.
05 -
Sprinkle the entire surface of the flatbread batter with 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese. Then, evenly distribute 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning over the cheese. These toppings add flavor and texture to the flatbread.
06 -
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the flatbread is golden brown around the edges and firm to the touch. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and desired crispness.
07 -
Carefully remove the flatbread from the oven. Let it cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cutting board. Slice into desired portions and garnish with 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped, if using.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra crispy flatbread, increase the baking time by 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning. The edges should be deeply golden.
02 -
Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for best texture.
03 -
Feel free to customize the seasonings! Try Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a different flavor profile. You can also swap mozzarella for cheddar or parmesan.
04 -
This versatile flatbread is excellent as a base for mini pizzas, a side with soup or salad, or topped with avocado and everything bagel seasoning for a quick breakfast.
