Can I make this cottage cheese flatbread recipe dairy-free?

Unfortunately, cottage cheese is central to this recipe. You could try using a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative, but the texture and flavor will be significantly different.

How can I add more protein to this cottage cheese flatbread recipe?

Consider adding shredded chicken or mixing cottage cheese with a bit of parmesan for extra protein punch.

Is this cottage cheese flatbread recipe suitable for meal prep?

While best fresh, you can prepare the base and toppings separately and assemble just before baking. Store components separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese instead of full-fat?

Full-fat cottage cheese provides better flavor and texture. Low-fat can be used, but the flatbread might be less rich and slightly more eggy.

What are some alternative herb combinations for this flatbread?

Experiment with different herb blends like Mediterranean (oregano, basil, thyme), Italian (rosemary, sage), or even spicy (add red pepper flakes, dried chili).

Instructions

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.

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.

Craft the Cottage Cheese Flatbread:

Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden brown, tomatoes are slightly roasted, and ham is crispy.

Notes

Cooked cottage cheese flatbread recipe can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Reheat in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.

Avoid microwaving, as it can make the egg-based flatbread rubbery.
