Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat or 2% works best for texture and richness
- 2 large eggs room temperature for easier blending
- to taste seasoning salt, pepper, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning
- Optional toppings cheese, fresh herbs, everything bagel seasoning, or za'atar
- Optional mix-ins fresh dill, chives, or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Blend the Base: Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. The mixture should resemble a thick, pourable batter with no lumps.
- Season Generously: Pour the batter into a bowl and stir in your chosen seasonings to taste. Start with a pinch of salt and pepper, then adjust as needed.
- Let It Rest: Allow the batter to sit for 2 to 3 minutes. This helps the mixture set slightly and makes it easier to cook evenly.
- Heat Your Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and lightly oil or butter the surface. Let it heat for 1 to 2 minutes until a drop of batter sizzles gently on contact.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the batter onto the hot pan and use a spatula to gently spread it into a thin, even circle about 8 to 10 inches wide. Work quickly as the edges will begin setting immediately.
- Cook the First Side: Let it cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the top appears mostly set but still slightly moist. You'll know it's ready when the edges pull away easily from the pan.
- Flip and Finish: Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the flatbread and cook the second side for 2 to 3 minutes until it reaches a light golden color. The flatbread should be cooked through but still tender.
