Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat to 350u00b0F (175u00b0C). Line a baking pan or skillet with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese until smooth. Add 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Blend until combined.
Add 1u00bd cups of almond flour, 2 tablespoons of coconut flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk powder, u00bc teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning directly to the blender. Blend until smooth.
Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to absorb moisture.
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Use a spatula or lightly oiled hands to spread it evenly, about 1 inch thick. Dimple the top using your fingers.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with 2 cloves of minced garlic (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder), fresh herbs, and u00bd cup of shredded mozzarella or parmesan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are firm. If you prefer extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.
Let the focaccia cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Baking time may vary depending on your oven. Start checking at 20 minutes. Psyllium husk powder helps create a fluffy texture, but you can omit it if needed. If you prefer extra protein, add 1 tablespoon of whey protein powder to the dry ingredients. It helps with structure and gives the bread a denser texture. For best results, use room temperature eggs and cold cottage cheese. This focaccia can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Next time, try adding cherry tomatoes, black olives, or fresh herbs to the top for extra flavor. If you’re following a low carb diet, this focaccia fits perfectly as a sandwich base or snack.
