Pro Tip: make sure not to spread the cottage cheese mixture too thin or it will not be as sturdy. I suggest spreading it out in an 8×10 size rectangle that is about ¼ inch in thickness for the best results.

Expert Tips For Success

Here are some key tips for making this easy cottage cheese flatbread recipe that you are going to love!

  • Cooking time – ovens vary so check it at around 20 minutes and continue cooking as needed. 
  • You do not need to blend the ingredients in a blender but you can add this step if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • Spray the pan and parchment paper with a little cooking spray to prevent the flatbread from sticking to the pan.
  • Do not skip the cooling time – as the flatbread cools it firms up and is easier to work with so make sure you allow at least 10 minutes of cooling time. 

Serving Suggestions

This viral flatbread is great if you add your favorite sandwich toppings and fold half over to enjoy as a sandwich or wrap up like a wrap. Here are some sandwich ideas you may love!

  • Turkey and cheese – sliced turkey breast, a slice of cheddar cheese, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, a spritz of vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. 
  • Ham and Swiss – sliced ham, sliced Swiss cheese, mayo, mustard, lettuce and tomato. 
  • Caprese – pesto sauce, sliced tomatoes, sliced mozzarella, fresh basil leaves.
  • Tuna – healthy tuna salad, mixed greens, sliced avocado.

How To Make Ahead and Store

Cottage cheese flatbread tastes best fresh out of the oven then cooled but you can store it in an airtight container in between parchment paper for up to 24 hours before you use it. I would store it flat so it doesn’t break. 

You can also make the cottage cheese egg mixture a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge, then spread it on the pan and bake it when you are ready to enjoy it.

FAQs

Is cottage cheese flatbread gluten-free?

Yes, this recipe, as written is fully gluten-free.

Why is my flatbread soggy?

If you find that your flatbread is soggy, then it just needs to cook a bit longer. You want to cook it until it is firm and golden. It will also firm up more as it cools.

What is the best type of cottage cheese to use?

I used 4% fat Good culture cottage cheese but this recipe also works well with 2% cottage cheese. Although nonfat cottage cheese will work, the 2%-4% had more flavor and was sturdier.

Can I make this flatbread recipe egg-free?

The eggs are a key ingredient in this recipe so I do not believe it would work as an egg-free recipe. 

Is there another ingredient you can use in place of the cottage cheese? 

Since cottage cheese is a key ingredient in this recipe it cannot be substituted.

Description

This viral cottage cheese flatbread recipe is made with 2 main ingredients, in one pan in under 30 minutes. It is a gluten-free, low-carb, high-protein flatbread recipe with over 30 grams of protein per serving!

Ingredients

Scale

For The Flatbread

  • 1 cup cottage cheese – 2%-4%% fat
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

For the filling – optional but so good

  • Mayonnaise
  • Dijon mustard
  • Sliced turkey breast
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a small rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking. 
  2. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and seasoning (Italian seasoning + garlic powder) to a medium bowl and whisk well to combine. Note: you could also blend the ingredients in a blender or pulse them in a food processor for a smoother texture. 
  3. Spread the cottage cheese mixture in an 8×10, ¼-inch thick rectangle on the lined baking pan. 
  4. Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven on the middle rack until firm and golden – about 25-30 minutes. Then remove it and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. 
  5. Add your favorite fillings – we spread some mayo and mustard then added lettuce, tomato, and turkey slices to one end of the flatbread, then carefully rolled it up in some parchment paper. Finally, we used a sharp kitchen knife to cut it in half and it was DELICIOUS!

Notes

  • Use a good quality cottage cheese that is 2%-4% milkfat like Good Culture brand. 
  • Make sure not to spread the cottage cheese mixture too thin or it will not be sturdy enough. ¼ inch in thickness is good. 
  • Ovens vary, so check the flatbread at around 20 minutes, then continue cooking as needed. You may need to turn the pan around so it becomes nice and golden on all sides. 
  • Store leftover flatbread in a covered container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
