Description
Cottage Cheese Flatbread is a simple, high-protein, gluten-free flatbread made by blending cottage cheese and eggs with seasonings, then baking until firm. It’s ideal for wraps, sandwiches, or as a healthy pizza crust alternative.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or preferred variety)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried herbs of choice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or chopped herbs for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan (if using), garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly into a thin layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle optional toppings like sesame seeds or herbs over the surface if desired.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the surface is firm to the touch.
- Let the flatbread cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps it set and prevents tearing.
- Slice into desired portions and use for wraps, sandwiches, or as a base for pizzas.

Cool fully before slicing or using to avoid breaking.Use full-fat cottage cheese for best flavor and texture.Add fresh herbs or extra seasonings to customize the flavor.Store flatbread in the fridge and reheat in oven or toaster for best texture.Avoid over-thickening — spread thinly for best results.
