Ingredients
Scale

- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional herbs: rosemary, thyme, or parsley for extra flavor

Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking, or prepare a skillet for frying. This cottage cheese flatbread recipe can be baked or pan-fried depending on your preference.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and flour. Mix thoroughly until you get a smooth batter. Add baking powder, salt, and herbs if using, stirring well to incorporate evenly.
- Divide the batter into smaller portions and shape into flat disks with your hands. Alternatively, spoon the batter directly onto the skillet.
- For baking: Place the flatbreads on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- For frying: Heat olive oil or cooking spray in a skillet over medium heat, then cook each flatbread for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy and cooked through.
Notes
- Allow the flatbread to cool completely before storing to maintain freshness.
- Store in an airtight container or wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Freeze for longer storage and reheat in a toaster or oven.
