- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- 1 cup curd cheese (or farmer's cheese / dry cottage cheese)
- 3 eggs medium eggs
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt (or plain whole-milk yogurt)
- 1 whole red bell pepper (or sweet Romano pepper), chopped
- 2 stalks scallions (green onions), roughly sliced
- 1 small handful fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (to taste)
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt & black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (or cooking spray for greasing)
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Blend the Savory Batter
Add the rolled oats, curd cheese (or farmer's cheese / dry cottage cheese), chopped red bell pepper, scallions, fresh flat-leaf parsley, eggs, Greek yogurt, red pepper flakes, and kosher salt into a high-speed food processor or blender. Blend for 1–2 minutes until the mixture turns completely smooth, thick, and homogenous.
Prep the Panini Grill
Preheat your panini press or electric sandwich maker to medium-high heat. Cut a sheet of parchment paper to line the bottom and top plates, then lightly grease it with a few drops of extra virgin olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Cook Until Golden & Firm
Pour the blended batter evenly across the parchment paper and spread gently into an even rectangular layer. Close the lid and cook for 10–12 minutes without opening until the oat flatbread is deeply golden brown, firm to the touch, and completely set throughout.
Slice, Garnish & Serve Warm
Carefully lift the parchment paper to slide the hot oat bread flat onto a cutting board. Let rest for 2 minutes to settle, then slice into squares or dipping strips. Enjoy warm with spreads, eggs, cheeses, or fresh salads!
