Zero-Carb Savory Cheese Flatbread
Prep time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 20–25 minutes
Servings: 4–6 slices
Ingredients
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (Small curd works best)
- 1 ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Divided)
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (Dried oregano, basil, and thyme)
- A pinch of Salt
Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk the two eggs thoroughly. Add the cottage cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella (¾ cup). Stir in the garlic powder and salt until well combined.
- Blend for Smoothness (Optional): If you prefer a more uniform, bread-like texture without the visible curds of cottage cheese, you can pulse the mixture in a blender for 30 seconds until smooth.
- Spread the Batter: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this is crucial to prevent sticking). Pour the mixture onto the center of the tray and use a spatula to spread it into a rectangular or circular shape, about ½ inch thick.
- The First Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 15–20 minutes. The edges should start to turn golden brown and the center should be firm to the touch.
- Add Toppings: Remove the tray from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup of shredded mozzarella and the Italian seasoning evenly over the top.
- The Final Melt: Return the flatbread to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and begins to brown slightly.
- Slice and Serve: Let it cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing into strips or squares. This allows the base to set firmly so you can pick up the slices easily.
Chef’s Tip
For a “crispy crust” feel, you can sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on the parchment paper before pouring the batter. This creates a savory, golden crust on the bottom of your flatbread!
