Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese, small curd preferred (Swap: Greek yogurt or ricotta)
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup (30g) all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp onion powder
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 cup (150g) cooked beets, roughly chopped (canned or roasted)
- 1 can (15 oz/425g) chickpeas, rinsed and drained (Swap: white beans like cannellini)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) tahini
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice, fresh is best
- 1 small garlic clove
- 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) olive oil, plus more for serving
- 0.5 tsp cumin
Instructions
- Prepare Flatbread Batter: In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined (about 2 minutes).
- Cook Flatbreads: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil. Pour about 0.25 cup of batter per flatbread, spreading to form a 4-5 inch round. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, firm, and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed (total cooking time around 25 minutes).
- Make Beet Hummus Brush: While flatbreads cook, combine cooked beets, rinsed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy (3-5 minutes), scraping down sides as needed.
- Assemble and Serve: Once flatbreads are ready, spread a generous layer of the Beet Hummus Brush over each warm cottage cheese flatbread. Garnish with fresh herbs, crumbled feta, or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use fresh lemons for the brightest juice and good quality extra virgin olive oil for the hummus. If flatbreads stick, ensure your pan is properly preheated and greased. If hummus is too thick, add cold water or more lemon juice one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
