Ingredients (Makes 2 Flatbreads)

- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Mix Batter
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Blend or whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until a thick dough forms.
Step 3: Shape Flatbreads
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Place each portion onto parchment paper and shape into thin round flatbreads (about 6–7 inches wide). Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
Step 4: Air Fry
Carefully place one flatbread (with parchment) into the air fryer basket. Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the second flatbread.
