Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240g) full-fat cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Optional add-ins: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (basil, parsley, or chives)
- Optional add-ins: 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional add-ins: 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients. If you want a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese for about 20 seconds until creamy. Otherwise, stir it well in a bowl.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl with cottage cheese and whisk until combined.
- Add baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder to the mixture. Gradually stir in the flour until you get a thick pancake batter consistency.
- Fold in any optional herbs, cheese, or sun-dried tomatoes if using.
- Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Spoon half the batter into the pan and spread into a rough 7-8 inch circle.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and edges are set. Flip carefully and cook the other side for about 4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil if needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings or as is.
Notes
Blending the cottage cheese creates a lighter texture. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent toughness. Use medium heat and oil the pan generously to avoid sticking and get a crispy crust. Store leftovers wrapped in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet. Flatbreads can be frozen for up to 1 month.
