Ingredients

  

• Almond flour – Finely blanched almond flour gives structure and a mild flavor.
• Ground psyllium husk – Helps bind and adds that chewy “bread” texture.
• Baking powder – For a bit of lift.
• Salt – Just a pinch to bring out flavor.
• Olive oil or melted butter – Adds moisture and richness.
• Eggs – Two types: one for the flatbread dough and two for scrambling on top.
• Shredded cheese – Cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend. Use what you like.
• Heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk – For soft, creamy scrambled eggs.
• Butter or ghee (for the pan) – For cooking the eggs and crisping the flatbread.
• Optional seasonings – Black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, or everything bagel seasoning.
• Optional toppings – Chopped chives, sliced avocado, cooked bacon or sausage, hot sauce, or a spoonful of pesto.

Method

 

1. Mix the dry base. In a bowl, stir together 1 cup almond flour, 1 tablespoon finely ground psyllium husk, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Break up any lumps.
2. Add the wet ingredients. Whisk in 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter. Add 2–3 tablespoons warm water, a little at a time, until a soft, pliable dough forms. It should hold together without sticking to your hands.
3. Rest the dough. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the psyllium hydrates. This step makes rolling easier and improves the texture.
4. Shape the flatbread. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment and roll it into an oval or circle about 1/4 inch thick. Peel off the top sheet.
5. Cook the flatbread. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a touch of butter or oil. Lift the rolled dough (using the parchment) into the pan and peel the paper away. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden with a few darker spots. Set aside on a plate.
6. Scramble the eggs. In a small bowl, whisk 2 eggs with 1 tablespoon heavy cream or almond milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Add 1 teaspoon butter to the same skillet over low-medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently push them around with a spatula until just set and soft.
7. Add the cheese. Sprinkle 1/2 to 3/4 cup shredded cheese over the eggs and stir briefly to melt. Keep the eggs slightly custardy; they’ll firm up on the hot flatbread.
8. Assemble. Place the cheesy eggs onto the flatbread. Add optional toppings like chives, avocado slices, or crumbled bacon. Fold like a taco or roll like a wrap.
9. Crisp the outside (optional but great). Return the assembled flatbread to the pan for 1 minute per side with a little butter. This melts the cheese further and adds a toasty exterior.
10. Season and serve. Finish with a pinch of everything bagel seasoning or paprika and a few drops of hot sauce if you like heat. Serve warm.

What Makes This Special

This flatbread keeps breakfast exciting on a keto or low-carb plan. You get the comfort of a classic breakfast wrap, but without the flour tortillas or bread.

The base is made from low-carb ingredients that still give you chew and structure, so it eats like real flatbread. It’s also high in protein and healthy fats, which helps keep you satisfied for hours. And it reheats well, so you can batch-cook for busy mornings.

Keeping It Fresh

• Refrigerate: Store leftover flatbread (undressed) in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Keep the eggs and toppings separate for best texture.
• Freeze: The flatbread base freezes well. Cool completely, layer with parchment, and freeze up to 2 months.

  Reheat in a dry skillet or toaster oven until crisp.

• Reheat: For assembled leftovers, use a skillet over medium-low heat with a little butter or oil. This brings back the crisp edges without making it soggy.
• Meal prep tip: Make 4–6 flatbreads at once. In the morning, just cook fresh eggs and cheese and assemble in minutes.

Benefits of This Recipe

• Low-carb and keto-friendly: Almond flour and psyllium keep net carbs low while delivering a satisfying bread-like bite.
• High satiety: Eggs, cheese, and healthy fats keep you full longer, helping you avoid mid-morning snacking.
• Flexible and customizable: It works with different cheeses, seasonings, and add-ins without changing the base.
• Quick to make: You can go from mixing to eating in 20–25 minutes, even less with prepped flatbreads.
• Gluten-free: Naturally gluten-free ingredients, while still giving you structure and chew.

Pitfalls to Watch Out For

• Using coarse psyllium: Coarse flakes can make the texture gritty or purple.

  Use finely ground psyllium husk powder for best results.

• Too much water: Overhydrating the dough makes it sticky and fragile. Add water gradually until just pliable.
• Overcooking the eggs: Dry eggs won’t meld with the cheese as well. Pull them off the heat while still soft and glossy.
• Skimping on the rest time: The dough needs a few minutes to hydrate.

  Skipping this step leads to tearing when rolling.

• High heat on the flatbread: Too hot and it burns before the center cooks. Medium heat gives you color and structure.

Alternatives

• Coconut flour version: Replace almond flour with 1/3 cup coconut flour, add an extra egg, and increase water as needed. The dough will be more delicate but lower in carbs.
• Cheese crust base (no psyllium): Make a quick cheese “crust” by melting 1 cup shredded mozzarella in a nonstick skillet until it forms a lacy round, then top with eggs.

  It’s ultra low-carb and crisp.

• Herb flatbread: Add 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley to the dough for more flavor.
• Dairy-free: Use olive oil or ghee in the dough, swap cheese for a dairy-free shreds blend, and use unsweetened almond or coconut milk for the eggs.
• Protein boost: Stir 1 tablespoon unflavored whey isolate or egg white powder into the dry mix for extra protein and chew.

FAQ

How many carbs are in this flatbread?

Exact carbs depend on brands and portion sizes, but the flatbread base typically lands around 3–5g net carbs per serving, plus the eggs and cheese. Using mozzarella and keeping portions moderate helps keep total net carbs in check.

Can I bake the flatbread instead of cooking it on the stove?

Yes. Bake on parchment at 375°F (190°C) for about 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway if you want more color.

A brief stovetop sear after baking adds great texture.

What cheese works best?

Cheddar gives sharp flavor and a little oiliness, while mozzarella melts stretchy and mild. A 50/50 blend is a good middle ground. Pepper jack adds heat without overpowering the eggs.

Do I need the psyllium husk?

It’s strongly recommended.

Psyllium provides elasticity and keeps the flatbread from cracking. If you must skip it, use a bit more almond flour and an extra egg white, but expect a more delicate base.

Can I make it ahead for the week?

Yes. Cook 4–6 flatbreads, cool, and refrigerate or freeze.

Make the eggs fresh each morning, or cook soft-scrambled eggs and reheat gently in a skillet with a little butter.

What if my dough keeps sticking?

Use parchment on both sides and a light dusting of almond flour. If it’s still sticky, knead in another teaspoon of almond flour and let it rest two more minutes.

How do I keep the flatbread from getting soggy?

Crisp the cooked flatbread in the pan for 30–60 seconds before adding eggs. Keep fillings relatively dry, and avoid watery vegetables unless sautéed first.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, as written it’s gluten-free.

Always check labels on baking powder and seasonings to be sure there’s no hidden gluten.
