Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Almond flour wraps (or similar low-carb wraps)
- 300 grams Feta cheese
- 200 grams Cottage cheese
- 120 grams Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- 4 large Eggs
- 50 grams Butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 milliliters Sparkling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the cottage cheese until evenly combined.
Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, melted butter, baking powder, and salt to the cheese mixture, stirring until smooth.
Gradually mix in the sparkling water to the batter. The mixture should have a slightly runny consistency but still hold texture.
Cut the almond flour wraps into strips or small pieces (approximately 2-inch squares) and gently fold them into the batter until well coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture has set completely.
Let the gibanica cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
