- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour (or oat/almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or herbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment or grease it lightly.
- In a bowl, whisk together cottage cheese and egg until smooth.
- Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional seasonings. Mix until thick and spreadable.
- Scoop the batter onto the baking sheet and spread into a circle or oval about ¼ inch thick.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Alternatively, cook on a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, 4–5 minutes per side, covered.
- Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm as-is or with toppings.
Notes
- Blend cottage cheese first if you prefer a smooth texture.
- Use oat or almond flour for a gluten-free version.
- Rest batter for 5 minutes if using oat flour to thicken.
- Add herbs or spices to the batter for extra flavor.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
