This easy cottage cheese flatbread recipe is high in protein, low in carbs, and versatile enough for wraps, pizza bases, or side dishes. Quick to make, customizable, and perfect for a healthy lifestyle.
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.
