Ingredients
  

  • 1 to 1½ cups cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ to 1 cup all-purpose flour or almond flour or chickpea flour for gluten-free
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder optional, for extra lift
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons dried herbs oregano, basil, or parsley
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: grated cheese chopped spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for variety

Instructions
 

  • Blend cottage cheese in a food processor or whisk until smooth.
  • Mix in eggs, salt, garlic, and herbs until well combined.
  • Stir in flour (or almond/chickpea flour) gradually until dough forms. For a 2-ingredient flatbread, skip flour.
  • Rest batter for 5–10 minutes to allow absorption and reduce stickiness.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet with olive oil on medium.
  • Divide and shape dough into 4–6 rounds (¼ inch thick).
  • Brush tops with olive oil for flavor and browning.
  • Cook in skillet for 3–4 minutes per side until golden OR bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Serve warm as a wrap, pizza base, or side dish.

Notes

  • 2-Ingredient Flatbread: Only cottage cheese and eggs → pan-cooked like savory pancakes.
  • Gluten-Free Version: Use almond or chickpea flour instead of wheat flour.
  • Cheesy Upgrade: Add ¼ cup grated Parmesan or cheddar to dough.
  • Herb Boost: Fresh parsley, rosemary, or chives add brightness.
  • Sweet Option: Skip garlic/herbs, add cinnamon and vanilla for a breakfast-style flatbread.
