# Ingredients:

→ The Wholesome Flatbread Base

01 - 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (2% milkfat)
02 - 1 large egg
03 - 2 tbsp almond flour
04 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1/4 tsp onion powder
06 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Vibrant Topping Medley

07 - 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
08 - 1/4 cup baby spinach
09 - 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
10 - 1 tbsp red onion, thinly sliced

→ Fresh Finishing Touches

11 - 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
12 - 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)
13 - Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This prepares your workspace for the delicious Protein Packed Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe, ensuring a non-stick surface for baking.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp almond flour, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until well combined and smooth, breaking down any large curds.
03 - Pour the cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it evenly into a thin rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm. This forms the wholesome base for your Protein Packed Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe.
04 - Carefully remove the flatbread from the oven. Evenly distribute 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1/4 cup baby spinach, 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese, and 1 tbsp thinly sliced red onion over the baked base, leaving a small border.
05 - Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the spinach is slightly wilted and the feta is warm and lightly golden. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning. This final bake brings all the flavors together for your Protein Packed Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe.
06 - Remove the flatbread from the oven. Drizzle with 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional). Slice into two servings and enjoy immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For an extra crispy flatbread, after baking the base, you can broil it for 1-2 minutes before adding toppings, watching carefully to prevent burning.
02 - Feel free to customize your toppings! Bell peppers, olives, or even a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese would be delicious additions to this flatbread.
03 - Leftover flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or air fryer for best results.
04 - This flatbread makes a fantastic light lunch or a satisfying appetizer. Pair it with a simple side salad for a complete and balanced meal.
