Easy Thin Flat Breads on a Pan

Not quite a crepe, not quite a tortilla, these yummy, soft flatbreads work perfectly to fill as sandwiches, or even fill with cheese to make a quick quesadilla. No rolling out needed!!! They literally whisk together in a bowl, spread on the pan with the back of your ladle, and then cook up so quickly.  Enjoy!

Easy Thin Flat Breads On a Pan

Makes ~6-8 depending on size. Yes, you can easily double this recipe. 

In a bowl, whisk together until smooth: 
4 oz liquid egg whites (~4 egg whites)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup milk (or dairy substitute)
1 tsp oil
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional, but I find it just adds a little depth to the flavor of my breads)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Optional herbs you can add, ~1/2 tsp each: (yes, of course, you can use any other herbs! These are just the ones I've tried and enjoy in the flatbreads)
chives
cilantro
garlic powder

To Cook: 

Preheat nonstick frying pan over medium heat.  (No butter or oil needed)  Ladle a scoop of batter onto the pan. Working quickly, spread outward with the back of the ladle in spiral movements. You're aiming to thin out the flatbread quickly and as much as possible. I lift the ladle and spiral outward several times to get it thin and wide.  Cook at medium heat until browned and batter is dry in appearance (like the image below). Flip and cook until browned on the other side. I find these cook up quickly, a minute or two per side.  Remove to a plate - I just stack them up as I'm cooking them until ready to eat.

You can cook them to a lighter color like this picture, if you plan to do more heating them again, like a quesadilla. Usually I cook the main side to a rich brown like the picture up top. 

You can fill the flat breads as desired. They can be rolled or folded. You can fold and pan fry like a quesadilla. It works great! Delicious alongside homemade chili.  One of our favorites is to have it with homemade tuna salad.  Leftover flatbreads can be covered and stored in the refrigerator. You might have to pop them in the microwave 20-30 seconds to warm them up a little so they'll easily pull apart after chilling. Enjoy!
