Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella

How to Make No-Flour Cheesy Skillet Flatbread
Make the batter-dough
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs.
Add the Greek yogurt or cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and melted butter. Mix until a soft thick dough forms.
If using parsley or garlic powder, stir them in now.
It should be soft but manageable, not runny. If it feels too wet, add a little more cornstarch.
Divide and shape
Divide the dough into 6 to 8 pieces.
Lightly grease your hands and flatten each piece into a round flatbread shape.
Do not worry if they are not perfectly round. Homemade bread is allowed to have personality.
Cook in a skillet
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Cook each flatbread for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden with little browned spots and cooked through in the center.
If needed, cover the pan for part of the cooking time so the inside cooks gently without the outside getting too dark.
Serve warm
Stack them on a plate and keep covered with a towel to stay soft.
Serve warm while the layers are tender and the cheese is still giving its best effort.
Helpful Tips
Use medium-low heat so the flatbreads cook evenly.
Cream cheese gives a richer result, while Greek yogurt makes them a little lighter.
A little extra mozzarella inside each round can make them even more satisfying.
These are best fresh, but they also reheat well in a pan.
