½ cup (120g) cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2 large eggs
Pinch of sea salt (optional)
¼ tsp garlic powder or oregano (optional)
1 tbsp whey protein powder (optional for extra protein)
Nonstick spray or oil for greasing
Step 1: Blend the Base
In a medium bowl, whisk together cottage cheese and eggs until smooth. For the smoothest texture, use a hand blender.
Step 2: Season (Optional)
Add a pinch of salt and your choice of herbs or protein powder. Mix well until combined.
Step 3: Prepare the Dish
Lightly grease a microwave-safe plate or silicone dish with oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Pour and Spread
Pour the mixture onto the dish and spread evenly to about ¼ inch thickness for flexible flatbread.
Step 5: Microwave to Cook
Microwave on high for 4–5 minutes, depending on your microwave wattage. The flatbread is done when the center is set and the edges slightly lift from the dish.
Step 6: Cool and Remove
Let it cool for 1–2 minutes before lifting. Use silicone tongs to remove it carefully.
Step 7: Optional Toast Finish
For a crispier texture, pan-toast or air fry for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
You can bake instead of microwaving at 375°F (190°C) for 12–14 minutes.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze with parchment between layers.
Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Try turning it into chips or use it as a wrap with grilled chicken or turkey.
