Instructions

Preheat to 350°F (175°C). 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 1½ cups of almond flour, 2 tablespoons of coconut flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk powder, ¼ 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 ½ 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.
