Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese (2%)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
Toppings
- 4 slices turkey breast
- 1/4 cup baby arugula
- 2 slices tomato
- 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread, ensuring an even cooking temperature.
- Prepare the Batter. In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, and mayonnaise. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which will create the base for the flatbread.
- Shape the Flatbread. Pour the creamy mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ideally 9 by 13 inches or larger. Spread or shake the mixture evenly into a rectangular shape, ensuring a uniform thickness for even baking.
- Bake the Flatbread. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the flatbread is set and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Add Toppings. Remove the flatbread from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, on one side, add the turkey breast slices, baby arugula, tomato slices, and drizzle with balsamic glaze to finish your sandwich-style flatbread.
