I like simple: make a big batch of the batter, pour in skillet, flip once. This protein dense flatbread when cooled can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen. Just reheat them on the stove. They can be used as an appetizer or snack for dips or spreads (guacamole, nut butter), or to serve with soup or salad, or topped with sauce or mayonnaise and veggies.

Gluten Free Cottage Cheese Flatbread in a Skillet
Total time: 25 minutes — yields 2 flatbreads

Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, or ¾ cup almond flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup full fat cottage cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1 TBSP olive oil

Directions

1. In a bowl mix the dry ingredients. Create an indentation to pour the rest of the ingredients into.
2. In a small blender or mini food processor blend the cottage cheese, eggs and olive oil until smooth.
3. Add the wet mixture to the dry, stirring until a thick batter forms. If too dry, add a little water, 1 TBSP at a time. If too sticky, add a little GF flour. If using almond flour, let it rest for 8-10 minutes before cooking.
4. Heat a flat cast iron pan or a carbon non-stick skillet. Lightly grease skillet with avocado oil spray or some ghee.
5. When moderately hot, pour 1/4 of the batter into the hot skillet. Use a spatula to spread it to desired size, no more than ¼ inch thick. Cook for 3-4 minutes until edges start to lift and the bottom is a golden brown. ONLY FLIP ONCE, carefully, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until bottom is golden. Keep warm by putting them on a warm plate and cover with a kitchen tea towel.
6. Can brush with olive oil or spread with ghee and top with fresh herbs like oregano, parsley, or thyme if eating it like a naan.

Spice/Herb Variations: cumin, curry, coriander, chili powder, rosemary.

Add-ins: shredded cheese, finely chopped veggies (onions, garlic, carrots, peas, spinach), or olives.
