Description
 Is cottage cheese still having its moment in the sun? I hope so, because this gluten and grain free bread is high in protein, low in carbs, and dead simple to make. Just blend together cottage cheese and egg whites, spread on a cookie sheet, and bake. With 18 g of protein in just 119 calories, this flatbread makes a great base for a healthy wrap or pizza

    4.

    5.

  5. Let it totally cool on the sheet. Place a piece of parchment paper on top, flip over the flatbread, and peel off the (now top) layer of parchment

    6.

Notes
  1. Whole eggs can be used in place of egg whites. 2 large eggs (100 g) is the substitution. Aquafaba will not work; I have tried.

  2. The psyllium husk provides a better texture and extra fiber. It is optional if you do not have it, but highly recommended.
