1. Blend the Cottage Cheese
   Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. This keeps the flatbread texture light and uniform.
2. Mix the Batter
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, egg, and shredded mozzarella. The batter will be thick and cheesy.
3. Cook the Flatbread
   • Skillet method: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the mixture into the pan, shaping it into a round flatbread. Cook 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and set.
   • Oven method: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes until golden.

General Information

Flatbreads have been a staple in cuisines worldwide, from naan in India to pita in the Middle East. This version is my modern, protein-packed twist on those comforting classics—using cottage cheese to give a fluffy, slightly tangy bite while keeping carbs low.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Use dairy-free cottage cheese and cheese alternatives.

2. Can I bake instead of pan-fry?
Absolutely. Baking makes it slightly firmer and less chewy.

3. Can I use egg whites only?
Yes, but the texture will be a bit drier. Whole egg is best.

4. Does it taste eggy?
Not really—the cheese balances the egg flavor beautifully.
