FAQ

What’s the best cottage cheese for making your own flatbread?

Horse and Dragonfly and Good Culture cottage cheese are my go-tos! They’re flavorful and have a good ratio of liquid to curd. Trader Joe’s makes a good option, too.

Can I cook this in the air fryer?

I recommend sticking with the oven for this one, as it might come out smaller in the air fryer… but you can always give it a try!

What type of food processor did you use?

The Kitchenaid 3.5 cup food processor is my right-hand when blending everything from sauces to this Whipped Cottage Cheese! It’s compact, easy to clean, and gets the job done quickly.

Delicious Topping Ideas

I’ve enjoyed this cottage cheese flat bread with my Mediterranean Chicken Salad (pictured!). But I’ve also made it with a combination of avocado mayo, dijon mustard, shredded chicken (or rotisserie), baby spinach, red onion, more sun-dried tomato, and freshly shredded parmesan cheese.

The great thing about flatbread is its versatility! Here are a few other ideas for how to enjoy it:

Pizza: Tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, you name it. The flatbread makes a great gluten-free pizza crust alternative.
Greek: Tzatziki sauce, sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and olives.
Mediterranean: Hummus, roasted red peppers, grilled chicken or falafel, and tzatziki sauce.
Caprese: Pesto, fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and balsamic glaze.
Mexican: Refried beans, salsa, avocado slices or guacamole, shredded chicken or beef, and sour cream.
