Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup of creamy cottage cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. It’s best to have everything at your fingertips. This not only speeds up the process but also makes you feel like a pro in the kitchen. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Meanwhile, grab a mixing bowl.
  • In your mixing bowl, combine the eggs and cottage cheese. Stir until well blended. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly smooth; a few lumps add to the texture. Add in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. The blend of spices is crucial here; they wake up the flavors that eggs and cottage cheese provide.
  • Lightly grease a baking sheet or use parchment paper. This will ensure your flatbread doesn't stick—no one enjoys a sticky situation.
  • Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Aim for a thickness of about 1/2 inch; this will ensure it cooks properly and maintains a nice texture.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. At this point, your kitchen will smell fantastic. You'll know it’s done when you gently shake the sheet, and it feels firm.
  • Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool slightly. This dish is best enjoyed warm. You can cut it into squares or any shape that suits your fancy.
  • This flatbread is quite versatile. Experiment with toppings. Sliced tomatoes, avocado, or a dollop of Greek yogurt are all great options for when you’re ready to serve.

Notes

  • Eggs are considered a powerhouse in nutrition. They contain all nine essential amino acids, promoting muscle growth and repair. Using large eggs in this recipe ensures you achieve the perfect balance of protein and richness.
  • Cottage cheese is often underrated. It is packed with casein protein, which digests slowly. This means it keeps you full longer. Opting for creamy cottage cheese provides that luscious mouthfeel that so nicely complements the egg base.
  • The spices can be adjusted according to your palate. Fresh herbs can be a great twist instead of using dried ones, adding freshness and vibrancy.
  • Using parchment paper will make cleanup a breeze, allowing you to focus on enjoying your creation.
