The Power of Protein
Let’s talk about protein! While I don’t focus on counting calories or macros, I do prioritize protein in my diet. It keeps you feeling fuller for longer and helps build muscle – what’s not to love? This high-protein flatbread is a delicious way to increase your protein intake without sacrificing flavor.
What You’ll Need:
- Cottage Cheese: The star of the show! Cottage cheese provides a creamy texture and a protein punch. I recommend using a high-quality brand like Good Culture.
- Eggs: Eggs bind the ingredients together and give the flatbread a fluffy texture.
- Parmesan Cheese: Adds a salty, cheesy flavor that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic is always best for optimal flavor.
- Italian Seasoning: A pinch of Italian seasoning elevates the flatbread with a burst of savory flavor.
Let’s Get Cooking!
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend It Up: Add all the ingredients – cottage cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese, garlic, and Italian seasoning – to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, which should take about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
- Spread & Bake: Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin layer using a rubber spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Cool & Enjoy: Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet before peeling it off the parchment paper.
Filling Inspiration:
The possibilities are endless! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Healthy Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap: Turn your favorite salad into a satisfying wrap!
