Ingredients

• 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese

• 1 tbsp almond flour (optional, for extra structure)

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Chopped parsley or herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Batter

In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, and optional almond flour and seasonings. Blend until smooth.

Step 2: Preheat Your Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). If your air fryer requires preheating, allow it to warm up for 2–3 minutes.

Step 3: Pour & Shape

Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Pour a few tablespoons of batter and spread it into a round shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches.

Step 4: Air Fry

Cook for 7–9 minutes until the flatbread is golden brown and the edges are crisp. Carefully remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Pro Tips

• Use a non-stick liner or perforated parchment paper for best results.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
Yes, but full-fat gives a creamier, more satisfying texture.

Is this freezer-friendly?
Absolutely. Freeze between parchment sheets and reheat directly in the air fryer.

Can I skip the almond flour?
Yes, it’s optional. It just gives the flatbread a slightly firmer bite.

Does this taste eggy?
Not at all! The cottage cheese balances out the egg flavor, especially with seasonings.
