| | Story time. | | I'd never eaten cottage cheese until last month. Then I fell for the viral cottage cheese flatbread recipe, which people were raving about as a low carb, high protein "bread." If you haven't seen it, you take a cup of cottage cheese and blend it with two eggs, a pinch of salt, and whatever other herbs and seasonings you prefer. Then you pour the mixture onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and sprayed with oil to prevent sticking. After baking at 350°F for about 30 minutes, it'll be ready to use. | | Or so I was led to believe. | | The first time I tried it, the mixture didn't set. In all fairness, I didn't know I had to blend the ingredients before pouring everything onto a pan. Lesson learned! For my second attempt, I followed the exact instructions I'd watched in various TikToks. But when I tried to remove the fully cooled flatbread, the parchment paper stuck to the bottom. It was absolute torture gently ripping off the little pieces with a tweezer (yes, a TWEEZER). | | Even after I got most of the paper off and made a sandwich, I found the texture to be too delicate, and it crumbled after my first bite. I won't say I'll never try it again, but I'm about 97% in that camp. | | What this experience did teach me is that cottage cheese is a delicious source of protein on its own. And when you're not trying to turn it into something it has no business being (I'm just bitter at this point), it can actually make for a filling meal or snack. | | Today's recipe puts this often-forgotten ingredient back in the well-deserved spotlight. | | | | Apologies for the long intro!
