09 -
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
10 -
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
→ Finishing Drizzle
11 -
1 tbsp balsamic glaze
12 -
1 tsp olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it extends beyond the edges for easy handling. Lightly grease the parchment paper with 1 tsp olive oil to prevent sticking, creating the perfect foundation for your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread: High Protein & Easy.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups 2% low-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a uniform flatbread texture.
03 -
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly into a thin, rectangular shape, approximately 8x10 inches. This forms the sturdy, high-protein base of your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread.
04 -
Bake the cottage cheese base in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until it's firm, lightly golden brown around the edges, and cooked through. The base should be easy to peel from the parchment paper once baked, ready for its delicious toppings.
05 -
Carefully remove the baked flatbread base from the oven. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella and 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes over the top. Return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly.
06 -
Transfer the Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread: High Protein & Easy to a cutting board. Drizzle with 1 tbsp balsamic glaze and garnish with 1/4 cup fresh basil. For a kick, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional). Slice and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra crispy base, pat the cottage cheese dry with paper towels before blending to remove excess moisture.
02 -
Feel free to customize toppings! Try sliced bell peppers, spinach, or crumbled feta cheese instead of mozzarella for variety.
03 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or air fryer for best texture.
04 -
This flatbread makes a fantastic light lunch, high-protein snack, or even a quick dinner when paired with a side salad.
