# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it extends slightly beyond the edges for easy handling. This prepares your surface for the delicious Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread: 2-Ingredient, 15-Minute Prep.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese and 1 large egg. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, with no visible curds. This forms the essential 2-ingredient base for your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread: 2-Ingredient, 15-Minute Prep.
03 -
Transfer the blended cottage cheese mixture to a bowl. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the base.
04 -
Pour the seasoned cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread it evenly into a thin rectangle or oval shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Aim for a consistent thickness for even cooking.
05 -
Bake the cottage cheese base in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it's firm, golden brown around the edges, and easily peels off the parchment paper. This creates the sturdy foundation for your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread: 2-Ingredient, 15-Minute Prep.
06 -
Remove the baked base from the oven. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 -
Carefully slide the Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread: 2-Ingredient, 15-Minute Prep onto a cutting board. Top with 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (thinly sliced) and 1/4 cup fresh arugula. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze before slicing and serving immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra crispy base, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes before adding toppings, ensuring it's deeply golden.
02 -
Leftover flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for best results.
03 -
Feel free to customize toppings! Try pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or different cheeses like feta or goat cheese for variety.
04 -
