Cottage Cheese Breakfast Flatbread
ANutritious Start to Your Day
Equipment
- Skillet or oven
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. You can enjoy it warm or at room temperature!
