Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup cottage cheese 120g, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour 30g, or oat/almond flour for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan optional
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or herbs optional seasonings

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork or whisk
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cottage cheese and egg until completely smooth. For zero lumps, blend cottage cheese first in a food processor for 30 seconds, then add egg.
  3. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional seasonings to cottage cheese mixture. Stir gently just until thick, spreadable batter forms. Don't overmix to avoid gummy texture.
  4. Scoop batter onto prepared baking sheet and spread into 8-inch circle or oval about ¼ inch thick. Shape as desired since it won't rise much during baking.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown around edges and set in center. Internal temperature should reach 160°F for food safety.
  6. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with favorite toppings or use immediately as base for wraps and mini pizzas.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for richest flavor. Let batter rest 5 minutes if using oat flour. Internal temperature should reach 160°F for food safety. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 4-5 days. Reheat in toaster oven or skillet for best texture.
