These soft, fluffy flatbreads are a delicious alternative to traditional bread and are perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or as a side dish. While social media often claims they’re “zero carb” and that you can eat unlimited amounts for weight loss, that’s not accurate. Ingredients like eggs, cheese, and yogurt naturally contain some carbohydrates and calories.
Here’s an easy recipe you can make in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
- Cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt)
- Eggs
Whisk until smooth.
Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in:
- Almond flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Garlic powder and herbs (if using)
Finally, fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Mix until a soft, thick dough forms.
Step 3: Shape the Flatbreads
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
With lightly oiled hands, flatten each portion into a circle about ½ inch (1–1.5 cm) thick.
Step 4: Cook
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Lightly grease the pan if needed.
Cook each flatbread for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Flip carefully using a spatula.
Step 5: Serve
Enjoy warm with:
- Butter
- Cream cheese
- Avocado
- Eggs
- Grilled chicken
- Fresh vegetables
- Smoked salmon
They also make excellent sandwich buns or mini pizzas.
Storage
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet, oven, or air fryer.
Tips for Success
- Cook over medium-low heat so the inside cooks completely without burning the outside.
- Add fresh herbs, grated Parmesan, or your favorite spices for extra flavor.
- If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
