How to Make Cottage Cheese Breakfast Flatbread

Ingredients:

1 pre-made flatbread (or homemade, if you’re feeling adventurous)
1/2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, as preferred)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for a sweeter touch)
Fresh fruits (berries, figs, bananas) or savory toppings (avocado, cherry tomatoes, herbs)
Salt and pepper to taste (for savory options)
Olive oil (optional drizzle for savory versions)

Instructions:

Prep the Flatbread: Start by warming up your flatbread in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. This will give it a slightly crisp texture and bring out its natural flavor.
Spread the Cottage Cheese: Once the flatbread is warm, remove it from the heat and spread the cottage cheese evenly across the surface. The cottage cheese provides a creamy base that pairs well with both sweet and savory toppings.
Customize Your Toppings: If you’re going for a sweet version, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the cottage cheese and layer your favorite fresh fruits on top. For a savory version, sprinkle salt, pepper, and perhaps a touch of olive oil before adding sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, or fresh herbs like basil or dill.
Final Touches: Add any final seasonings or garnishes. For a sweet flatbread, a sprinkle of cinnamon could be the finishing touch. For a savory one, a pinch of red pepper flakes adds a kick of heat.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the flatbread into manageable pieces and serve immediately.

Tips for Perfect Cottage Cheese Breakfast Flatbread

Crispy Flatbread: Don’t skip the step of warming your flatbread! A crisp base contrasts beautifully with the creamy cottage cheese, enhancing the overall texture.
Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest toppings possible, especially if you’re going the fruit route. The natural sweetness of fresh berries or figs pairs well with the tanginess of cottage cheese.
Don’t Overdo the Cottage Cheese: A light layer of cottage cheese is key too much, and your flatbread may get soggy. You want enough to taste the creaminess without it overpowering the flatbread.
Experiment with Flavors: Try mixing herbs into the cottage cheese for a savory flatbread, or stir in a dash of vanilla extract for a sweet one. The possibilities are endless!
Make it Gluten-Free: If you’re gluten-sensitive, swap out the regular flatbread for a gluten-free version.
