Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the **soft cottage cheese**, the **egg**, and the **grated hard cheese**. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Next, add the **flour** and a **pinch of salt** to the mixture. Stir until a cohesive dough forms. Be sure to mix until the dough is smooth with no lumps remaining.
Step 2
Once your dough is ready, lay out a piece of parchment paper on your baking sheet. With your hands, shape the dough into a **round flatbread**, about 20-22 centimeters (or 8-9 inches) in diameter.
Make sure the thickness is uniform for even baking. This flatbread will be crispy on the edges and soft in the center, so taking the time to shape it properly is important.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to **180°C (350°F)**. Once the oven is ready, place your shaped flatbread on the parchment paper inside.
Bake for **20-25 minutes**, or until the flatbread is golden brown and lightly crisp around the edges. Make sure to place it in a preheated oven to achieve the best results.
Step 4
After baking, let the flatbread cool slightly before serving. You can top it with your choice of toppings; I recommend **sour cream**, **lettuce leaves**, **tomatoes**, and **onions** for a fresh flavor.
Enjoy your delicious and protein-packed flatbread! Bon appétit!
Servings
Imagine this golden-brown delight fresh out of the oven, topped with a dollop of creamy sour cream. You could add some crisp salad leaves and juicy tomatoes for a refreshing crunch! 🥗 Sliced onions and fresh herbs will add a pop of flavor that elevates this dish to the next level.
For a savory twist, serve it as a side with your favorite soup or stew. The rich, cheesy texture complements hearty dishes perfectly! 🍲 And if you're feeling fancy, why not drizzle it with a bit of flavored oil or balsamic vinegar? Safe to say, this pastry is a versatile star on your dining table! 🌟
Equipment
Use a standard-sized baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

Variations
Want to enjoy this recipe without gluten or animal products? Let’s get creative! 🌱
For a gluten-free option, replace the regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. You’ll still get that yummy texture without the gluten! 😋
If you're leaning towards vegan, swap the egg with 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water—let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. Additionally, choose a plant-based cheese that melts well for that satisfying ooey-gooey goodness! 🧀✨ Enjoy all the flavors without compromising on your dietary preferences!
