Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Batter
- 1 cup smooth cottage cheese (blend until smooth)
- 3 large eggs (binds the flatbread together)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for a savory twist)
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (oregano and basil work well)
- 1 tablespoon honey (pairs well with fruits)
- 1/4 cup crushed walnuts (adds crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Blend 1 cup of cottage cheese with 3 large eggs until smooth and creamy. Add in the garlic powder, Italian herbs, honey, and crushed walnuts and mix well to combine all ingredients into a uniform batter.
- Preheat Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and allow it to preheat for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and a nicely crisped flatbread surface.
- Cook Flatbread: Pour approximately 1/3 cup of the batter into the hot skillet and spread it evenly into a round shape about 1/4 inch thick. Let it cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom turns golden brown.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the flatbread using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until it is also golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Transfer the cooked flatbread to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, honey, or savory spreads for a delightful snack.
Notes
- For a smooth batter, ensure the cottage cheese is blended thoroughly before mixing with other ingredients.
- You can adjust herbs and spices according to your taste preferences.
- If you prefer a sweeter flatbread, increase the honey slightly or serve with additional sweet toppings.
- Use a nonstick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- Flatbreads can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a skillet or microwave for convenience.
