# 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 lifting. This quick prep is key for your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread: Quick, High Protein & 15 Min.
02 -
In a blender, combine 1 1/2 cups 4% fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
03 -
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it into an even 1/4-inch thick rectangle, approximately 9x13 inches. This forms the perfect foundation for your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread: Quick, High Protein & 15 Min.
04 -
Bake the cottage cheese base for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. It should be firm enough to handle without breaking. This initial bake creates a sturdy, high-protein canvas.
05 -
Carefully remove the flatbread from the oven. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1/4 cup fresh spinach (roughly chopped), and 2 oz thinly sliced smoked turkey breast (torn into pieces) over the baked base.
06 -
Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are warmed through. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
07 -
Remove the Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread: Quick, High Protein & 15 Min from the oven. Drizzle with 1 tbsp balsamic glaze, sprinkle with 2 tbsp fresh chives (chopped), and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional). Slice and serve immediately for a delicious, high-protein meal.
# Notes:
01 -
For the smoothest flatbread, ensure your cottage cheese mixture is completely blended with no lumps. A high-speed blender works best, but a regular blender will do with a bit more time.
02 -
Leftover cottage cheese flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or air fryer for best texture.
03 -
Feel free to customize your toppings! Other great options include pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, or different lean proteins like grilled chicken.
04 -
This flatbread makes a fantastic light lunch, quick dinner, or even a high-protein snack. Pair it with a simple side salad for a complete meal.
