Equipment

  • Blender
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula

Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon everything seasoning

Instructions
 

Preheat the pan

  • Set a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then give it a generous spray of oil, or drizzle about 1 Tablespoon of avocado oil. You want the surface glossy and evenly coated, so the rounds release cleanly.

Blend a smooth batter

  • Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and everything seasoning to a small blender. Blend until the batter is completely smooth and creamy, like classic pancake batter, with no visible curds.
  • Let the batter sit for a moment while the pan finishes heating. You will notice it thickens slightly, which is exactly what helps it hold together.

Cook, flip, and finish

  • Pour the batter into the pan in rounds, about 1/4 cup each, keeping them thin so the center sets quickly. The aroma will go savory and toasty almost immediately.
  • Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, watching for bubbles and edges that turn matte and a little lacy. Flip gently, then cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the second side is set and lightly golden.
  • Slide them out and top each round with whatever you love. They are best while warm, when the middle is tender and the edges feel lightly springy.

Notes

Pro Tip: Blend until completely smooth so the texture is pancake-like with no cottage cheese lumps.
Equipment Tip: Use a truly high-quality non-stick skillet; it is the difference between clean rounds and a scramble. Do not skimp on the oil or spray.
Flipping Tip: Wait for the "three signs" before turning: bubbles on top, matte edges, and a slightly lacy rim. Rushing the flip causes tearing.
Storage & Make-Ahead: For meal prep, let the rounds cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container. Place parchment paper between the layers so they do not stick together.
