Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Salt to taste

How to make it

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, almond flour, eggs, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture into a flatbread shape.
4. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Helpful tips

• Ensure the cottage cheese is well-blended to avoid lumps for a smoother texture.
• If you prefer a thicker flatbread, you can double the recipe and adjust the baking time as needed.
• Keep an eye on the bread while baking; ovens may vary in temperature.

Optional variations

• For added flavor, consider mixing in herbs like garlic powder, rosemary, or oregano.
• You can substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but remember to adjust the liquid ingredients as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.
