If you’re looking for a healthy, high-protein alternative to traditional flatbread, this Cottage Cheese Flatbread recipe will be your new go-to. It has just two ingredients, comes together in minutes, and is surprisingly versatile. Whether you’re pairing it with your favorite dips, using it as a sandwich wrap, or layering it for a quick pizza base, it brings a fluffy texture with a slightly tangy flavor that’s hard to resist.

What makes this flatbread especially unique is its use of cottage cheese as the star ingredient. When baked, the cheese gives the bread structure and a light chew, without needing flour or oil. It’s perfect for low-carb diets, meal preppers, and anyone who loves easy, wholesome recipes that actually taste great.

Can I Use Any Cottage Cheese for This Flatbread?

Yes, but the texture will vary slightly depending on the curd size and fat content. For the smoothest results, go with small-curd or whipped cottage cheese. If you only have large-curd, give it a quick blend in the food processor for a more uniform mixture. Full-fat cottage cheese will give the richest flavor and best texture, but low-fat versions work too.

Ingredients for the Cottage Cheese Flatbread

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably small-curd or blended)
2 large eggs

How To Make the Cottage Cheese Flatbread

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Blend the Ingredients

Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth.

Step 3: Spread the Mixture

Pour the blended mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin oval or rectangle.

Step 4: Bake It

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and firm to the touch. Let it cool slightly before removing it from the parchment.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut into strips or squares. Enjoy as-is or store for later.

How to Serve and Store Cottage Cheese Flatbread

This flatbread is super versatile. Use it to wrap your favorite sandwich fillings, top it with sauce and cheese for a quick low-carb pizza, or serve it as a side with soups and salads. It’s soft enough to fold but sturdy enough to hold toppings.

To store, place slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them with parchment between each piece for easy grab-and-go use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add spices or herbs to the mixture?

Absolutely! Try adding garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or even a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor.

Is this flatbread gluten-free?

Yes, it contains no flour, so it’s naturally gluten-free.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Unfortunately, no. The recipe relies on cottage cheese for structure.

What’s the best way to reheat it?

Use a skillet or toaster oven to bring back its slight crispness. Avoid the microwave if you want to keep the texture firm.

Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?

You can try it, but the yolks help with structure and flavor, so the result may be less satisfying.
