Ingredients
-
2
large
very ripe avocados (about 10 oz each before peeling and seeding) -
160
grams
(2/3 cup) cottage cheese -
2
large
eggs - Optional: dried seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease five 4-inch silicone bun molds, or line a large baking sheet with parchment paper if you prefer freeform flatbreads. Prepare the avocados by peeling and removing the pits.
-
Place the peeled avocado flesh in a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Add the cottage cheese and eggs, then process for about one minute more until the mixture is homogeneous and creamy. If you like, add a teaspoon or two of dried seasoning at this stage and pulse briefly to combine.
-
Scoop the batter in roughly 1/2-cup portions into the prepared molds or onto the lined baking sheet. If using a sheet, spread each scoop into a thick, even 4-inch circle. Smooth the tops gently and, if desired, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning or another topping over each piece.
-
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the breads feel set and the tops begin to lightly brown. Bread baked in molds will usually take closer to 30 minutes; thinner rounds on a sheet typically finish in about 20 minutes. Oven times vary, so check for a firm texture.
-
Remove from the oven and let the flatbreads cool in their molds or on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes. Cooling helps them firm up and hold their shape. Once sufficiently cooled, transfer to a wire rack and allow another 30 minutes before slicing or topping.
Tips & Variations
These flatbreads are versatile. To change the flavor profile, stir in fresh herbs such as chopped chives, dill, or parsley before baking. A pinch of smoked paprika or a small amount of grated Parmesan can add a savory depth. For a dairy-free version, substitute mashed silken tofu for the cottage cheese, but expect a slightly different texture. If you prefer a crispier exterior, lightly brush the tops with oil before baking or finish under a hot broiler for a minute, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm or at room temperature. These flatbreads make a great base for smashed avocado and egg, smoked salmon and cream cheese, or simply buttered with a sprinkle of sea salt. They also work well as a side for salads, soups, or grilled vegetables.
Storage
Store cooled flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or in a skillet to restore a bit of freshness. For longer storage, flatten completely and wrap individually before freezing; thaw in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
