Instructions
1. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Flatbread Base:
-
- In a large mixing bowl, separate eggs, whisking the whites and yolks together until well combined.
-
- Add cottage cheese, olive oil, salt, dried herbs, black pepper, and parmesan (if using). Whisk thoroughly until a smooth, consistent batter forms.
-
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and cottage cheese to integrate.
2. Craft the Cottage Cheese Flatbread:
-
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
- Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture onto the parchment paper, spreading it evenly to create a thin, even layer about 1/4-inch thick.
-
- Spread additional cottage cheese across the flatbread, leaving a small border.
-
- Carefully layer thinly sliced tomatoes and diced ham. Sprinkle minced garlic and fresh herbs.
-
- If using, sprinkle grated mozzarella. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper.
-
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden brown, tomatoes are slightly roasted, and ham is crispy.
