Super Easy Cottage Cheese Flatbread

Save to Find It Later!

Okay, I’ll admit it; I love cottage cheese recipes and this cottage cheese flatbread is no exception. It’s quick, weirdly satisfying, and honestly, way more versatile than I expected.

You can use it as a wrap, a pizza crust, or cut it into little snack bites and dip it into whatever sauce you love. It holds up, doesn’t fall apart, and has this chewy-meets-fluffy texture that’s way better than any store-bought low-carb bread I’ve tried.

This is one of those recipes you can throw together with five ingredients and no stress. If you’ve got eggs and a tub of cottage cheese in the fridge, you’re halfway there.

The seasonings give it a little flavor boost, but you can definitely play around with them depending on what you’re using it for. I like mine with garlic and herbs because it makes the whole thing taste like cheesy breadsticks—even though there’s no actual flour involved.

Tips to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread

• Use 2% or 4% fat cottage cheese. It gives the best consistency and flavor. Non-fat can turn out rubbery.
• Make sure you mix the eggs and cottage cheese really well. I like to use a fork or whisk to get it smooth.
• Don’t spread the mixture too thin on the pan—about ¼ inch thick works best. If it’s too thin, it can burn or turn crispy instead of chewy.
• Let it cool for a few minutes before handling. It firms up as it cools, which makes it easier to slice or roll.

Ingredients

• 200g (about ¾ cup) cottage cheese (2%–4% fat)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning, mixed herbs, or oregano
• Pinch of salt and pepper

Alternative Ingredients

You can change up the flavor by swapping garlic powder for onion powder or smoked paprika. If you don’t have Italian seasoning, a mix of dried basil and thyme works well too. For extra protein, try adding a tablespoon of grated parmesan to the mix. And if you want it spicy, a pinch of red pepper flakes goes a long way.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so nothing sticks.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Mix until smooth, then stir in the garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Shape and Spread

Pour the mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Spread it into a circle or rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Try to keep the thickness even so it bakes properly.

Step 4: Bake

Bake the flatbread on the middle rack for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and set in the center. The edges should be slightly browned.

Step 5: Cool

Once baked, remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes. This step helps it hold its shape when slicing or using as a wrap.

How to Conserve Cottage Cheese Flatbread

After the flatbread has cooled completely, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It actually holds up really well! To reheat, just pop a slice in a skillet for a couple of minutes on each side or toast it in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.

You can also freeze it—wrap it in parchment paper and seal it in a freezer bag. When you want to use it, thaw in the fridge overnight or reheat directly in the oven.

How to Serve Cottage Cheese Flatbread

This flatbread can do it all. I like to slice it into triangles and serve it with hummus or tzatziki as a snack. You can also top it with sauce and cheese for a quick personal pizza, or use it as a wrap filled with veggies and grilled chicken.

If you’re going low-carb, this is a great alternative to tortillas or sandwich bread. For something a little fun, I’ve even used it as a base for breakfast—add scrambled eggs, spinach, and hot sauce and you’ve got a breakfast flatbread that actually keeps you full.

You can cut it small for appetizers or lunchbox bites too. It’s soft, flexible, and doesn’t fall apart, which is exactly what you want from something homemade.
