Make It Better: Smart Tips for This Recipe!
- Blend for Extra Smoothness: If you prefer a finer texture, blend the cottage cheese and eggs before mixing in the seasonings. This helps eliminate any curds for a smoother, more uniform batter.
- Go Low and Slow: Cooking over medium-low heat prevents burning while allowing the flatbread to cook evenly. Too high of a heat can brown the outside too quickly while leaving the center undercooked.
- Customize the Flavor: Cottage cheese has a mild taste, so don’t be afraid to mix in spices like smoked paprika, cumin, or even a touch of chili flakes for an extra kick.
- Let It Rest Before Cutting: Once cooked, let the flatbread cool for a minute or two. This helps it firm up slightly, making it easier to slice or use as a wrap.
- Crisp It Up: If you like a crispier texture, place the cooked flatbread in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes or pop it in an air fryer for a quick crisp.
- Perfect for Meal Prep: Make a batch ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Just reheat on a dry skillet for a few seconds, and it’s good as new!
