How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Grab your blender or food processor and blend the cottage cheese with the eggs. Once the mixture is nice and frothy, pour it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
This recipe is enough to fill a 9×13 baking sheet. If yours is larger, double the recipe OR don’t spread it out all the way.
Now, bake your flatbread until it’s golden brown. You’ll notice that the top side looks more “eggy”, while the underside looks more brown. This is normal.
Once your flatbread is out of the oven, let it cool for 5-10 minutes before topping and slicing it.
Serving Suggestions
This recipe makes a perfect base for all of your favorite toppings. Here are some of my favorite ways to dress it up:
1. Flatbread pizza: Top with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni for a low carb, high protein pizza. Bake it for 5 minutes extra after you put the toppings on.
2. Mediterranean flatbread: Top with hummus, sliced red onions, sliced tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese.
3. Chicken pesto flatbread: Spread your flatbread with pesto sauce and sprinkle with shredded chicken and Parmesan cheese. Pop it back into the oven for 5 minutes before serving.
4. Breakfast flatbread: Cottage cheese and eggs are breakfast foods anyway! Try topping your flatbread with scrambled eggs and diced bacon bits for a great way to start your day.

Storage Instructions
Store your leftover flatbread wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil in the refrigerator. You could also keep it in an airtight container.
It’s best to store your flatbread without any toppings, or it could get soggy.
To reheat, simply place it into the oven or air fryer at 350F degrees for about 5 minutes.
FAQs
Both low fat and full-fat cottage cheese work well in this recipe. I don’t recommend using fat free cottage cheese, as the flavor won’t be as good.
Cottage cheese flatbread is totally worth the hype. While it’s not going to taste like traditional bread or even traditional flatbread, it’s got a sturdy enough texture to make you feel satisfied without derailing your high protein diet.
This flatbread is also a great base for lots of toppings, so you can add variety to your low carb diet to prevent boredom.
