09 -
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
10 -
1/4 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese

1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet (approximately 13x18 inches) with parchment paper, ensuring it extends slightly over the edges for easy handling. This prepares the surface for your delicious 2-Ingredient High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups 2% Low-Fat Cottage Cheese and 2 large Eggs. Add 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Dried Italian Seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
03 -
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, carefully spread the batter into an even, thin layer, forming a rectangle or oval shape. Ensure the thickness is consistent for even baking of your 2-Ingredient High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread.
04 -
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. The flatbread should be set and lightly golden around the edges. This initial bake creates a sturdy foundation for your toppings.
05 -
Carefully remove the flatbread from the oven. Evenly scatter 1 cup Baby Spinach, 1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved), and 1/4 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese over the partially baked base. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, if desired.
06 -
Return the flatbread to the oven and continue baking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted, the tomatoes are slightly softened, and the feta is warm. The edges of the 2-Ingredient High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread should be golden brown.
07 -
Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. This allows it to firm up slightly. Garnish generously with 2 tablespoons Fresh Basil Leaves, chopped, before serving.
08 -
Carefully slide the flatbread onto a cutting board. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice into desired portions. Serve immediately as a light meal, snack, or appetizer.
# Notes:
01 -
Customize your flatbread! Feel free to swap out the spinach and cherry tomatoes for other quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or even a sprinkle of cooked chicken for extra protein.
02 -
Leftover flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or microwave until warmed through.
03 -
This versatile flatbread is excellent on its own, but also pairs wonderfully with a side salad, a bowl of soup, or as a healthy alternative to traditional pizza crust.
04 -
For an even crispier flatbread, increase the initial baking time by 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The key is a thin, even spread of the batter.
