Ingredients
- 200 grams full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 eggs free-range or organic if possible
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian mixed herbs or use your favorite herbs to season
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, blend the cottage cheese, eggs, and grated parmesan until smooth.
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared tray and spread it into a thin, even rectangle.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the flatbread is golden brown and firm.
- Let it cool completely before carefully peeling it off the parchment paper.
Notes
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Lightly spray it with olive oil and wipe off any excess with a paper towel for the best results.
- Baking Time: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-30 minutes, but keep an eye on it. The exact time may vary depending on your oven. Look for a golden-brown color and firm texture.
- Cool Completely: Allow the flatbread to cool entirely before peeling it off the parchment.
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven for a few minutes to refresh its texture.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as it can make the flatbread soggy once defrosted.
📝 Recipe Ingredients & Notes
- Cottage Cheese: I use full-fat cottage cheese for it’ creaminess and texture.
- Eggs: Use free-range or organic eggs whenever possible.
- Parmesan Cheese: Parmigiano Reggiano as it is called in Italian. Grana Padano is a great substitute—slightly milder and more affordable while still delivering delicious flavor.
- Herbs (Optional): You can use any of your favorite herbs. Try dried herbs such as oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, or sweet paprika. My favorite is the Italian herb mix; it goes really well with parmesan cheese.
