Whole recipe (4 servings): 1520 kcal
- 1 cup blended cottage cheese (blend until smooth)
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for mushrooms)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (for tomato topping)
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (for yogurt sauce)
Method
8 steps- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss sliced mushrooms with olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread on one side of a prepared baking sheet and roast on the upper rack for 15 minutes, until browned and tender. Leave oven on.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk blended cottage cheese and eggs until smooth. Add almond flour, 1/2 cup mozzarella, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir until a thick, uniform batter forms.
- Divide batter into four equal portions (about 1/2 cup each). Spread each portion thinly into a rough 7- to 8-inch round on the second prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake flatbreads on the lower rack at 400°F for 18–22 minutes, until set in the center, lightly golden at the edges, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean with no wet egg batter. If the mushrooms finish early, set them aside.
- While flatbreads bake, prepare toppings: for mushroom-feta, have roasted mushrooms and crumbled feta ready; for tomato-mozzarella, slice tomato and measure 1/2 cup mozzarella and chili flakes; for cucumber-yogurt, stir Greek yogurt with lemon juice, chopped dill, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, then thinly slice cucumber.
- When flatbreads are fully baked, top two flatbreads with roasted mushrooms and feta, and two with tomato slices, 1/2 cup mozzarella, and chili flakes. Return topped flatbreads to the oven for 3–4 minutes, until mozzarella melts and tomatoes soften slightly.
- Serve warm. For the cucumber-yogurt topping, spoon the chilled yogurt sauce over flatbreads just before eating and finish with cucumber slices. Each flatbread is one serving; nutrition is estimated for one flatbread with the tomato-mozzarella topping.
Recipe notes
Helpful tips
- Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth for the most even texture.
- Spread the batter thin; thicker rounds may need a few extra minutes.
- Roast mushrooms while the flatbreads bake to save time.
Equipment
- Blender
- Two large baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Knife
- Cutting board
Storage
Store plain baked flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until hot. Keep yogurt sauce and cucumber separate and add just before serving.
Additional tips
- The flatbread must be fully set with no wet egg batter in the center before adding toppings. Almond flour and cottage cheese vary in moisture; if batter seems very wet, spread slightly thinner and check at 18 minutes. Do not use parchment paper above the oven's recommended temperature.
