2. Blend cottage cheese until smooth using a food processor or blender.
3. In a bowl, mix blended cottage cheese, egg, and almond flour until combined into a thick batter.
4. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to thicken.
5. Spread batter into a 1/4-inch thick circle or rectangle on the parchment-lined pan.
6. Bake for 20–22 minutes or until edges are golden and center is set.
7. Remove from oven, add desired toppings, and return to oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese is melted.

Notes
For crispier crust, bake longer before adding toppings.
Full-fat cottage cheese gives best results—avoid low-fat versions.
Optional add-ins: garlic powder, herbs, or pinch of salt for more flavor.
