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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the cottage cheese until evenly combined.
Step 3
Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, melted butter, baking powder, and salt to the cheese mixture, stirring until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually mix in the sparkling water to the batter. The mixture should have a slightly runny consistency but still hold texture.
Step 5
Cut the almond flour wraps into strips or small pieces (approximately 2-inch squares) and gently fold them into the batter until well coated.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture has set completely.
Step 8
Let the gibanica cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
