Ingredients for Cottage Cheese and Egg Flatbread
- Eggs: Large eggs are best. You want the right amount of eggs to give the bread its structure.
- Cottage cheese: I love Daisy brand. Use whatever level of fat you prefer.
- Seasoning: Garlic powder (or garlic powder with parsley) and Everything But the Bagel seasoning.
- Olive oil spray: To prevent sticking and to give the baked cottage cheese flatbread a golden color.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread From Scratch
Step 1: Add cottage cheese, eggs, and garlic powder to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Ladle the batter onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprayed. You want even round circles about 5-6 inches wide, about 1-2 inches apart.
Step 3: Use the back of the ladle to smooth them to an even thickness and into perfect circles. Sprinkle with Everything but the Bagel seasoning over top.
Step 4: Bake in a preheated 350°F for 15-20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. If yours are thicker, you’ll need an extra 5-10 minutes to cook through.
Step 5: Let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They’ll firm up but still be flexible enough to fold. Enjoy!
Cooking Tips
- Blending the cottage cheese. I highly recommend using a blender to smooth out the little curds. Leaving them in can make the bread uneven.
- Keep an eye on the oven. You want the flatbread to be cooked through, but not overcooked. Lightly golden, yet still tender.
- Swap the seasoning. Garlic powder (with or without parsley) is a simple way to add flavor to your flatbread, but you can use what you like. Things like Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne, or Parmesan cheese can add great flavor.
Ways to Use High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe
This viral cottage cheese flatbread can be used for so many things! It’s great for all the nutritional reasons, but it’s just as good when you need something quick to whip up when you’ve run out of bread!
We use it for high-protein tortillas to make carne guisada tacos or shredded chicken tacos, Instant Pot birria tacos, mini pizza crusts or 3-cheese flatbread pizza, folded breakfast wraps, snack rounds to dip in hummus and Mediterranean roasted vegetables or cottage cheese. You can even use it to make low-carb sandwiches like this tomato bacon and egg sandwich.
The sky is the limit with this flatbread recipe!
Recipe FAQs
This will depend on how thick you ladle your batter onto the tray. If it’s on the thinner side, start with 15 minutes (but keep an eye on it). If it’s medium thick, leave it for 30 minutes. If it’s on the thicker side, you may need to add an extra 5-10 minutes.
No! It’s a mild tasting flatbread that, once cooked, gives a neutral flavor. This is why it can be used for both savory and sweet toppings.
Keep leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freeze them for up to 2 months. You can either wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag, or stack them layered with parchment paper to prevent them sticking together.

📖 Recipe
High-Protein Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- everything sprinkle to taste
- avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Blend it smooth: Blend cottage cheese, eggs, and garlic powder until completely smooth and creamy.
- Prep your baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.Spray with avocado oil spray.
- Make perfect circles: Use a ladle or large cookie scoop to portion the batter onto the parchment. Create round circles about 5–6 inches wide. Use the back of the spoon to smooth them into even, circular shapes. Sprinkle with Everything But the Bagel seasoning over the top. Tip: Leave space between each circle — they spread slightly.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F (176°C) for 15–25 minutes, depending on the thickness. They’re done when the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. (If you make them thicker, add 5–10 minutes.)
- Cool completely: Let them cool fully on the baking sheet so they firm up and stay flexible. Enjoy as:• High-protein tortillas• Mini pizza crusts• Folded breakfast chicken wraps• Snack rounds with hummus or cottage cheese• Low-carb sandwich thins
Notes
- Blend until ultra-smooth: For the best texture, make sure the batter is completely smooth with no cottage cheese curds left. A high-speed blender works best.
- Parchment paper is key: Don’t skip lining the baking sheet—this prevents sticking and makes the flatbreads easy to lift once cooled.
- Size matters: Spreading the batter into 5–6 inch circles creates the perfect balance between flexibility and structure. Thicker flatbreads will need extra baking time.
- Let them cool completely: This is important! The flatbreads firm up as they cool and become easier to fold, wrap, or stack.
- Season to taste: Everything But the Bagel seasoning adds great flavor, but feel free to swap in sesame seeds, Italian seasoning, or even a sprinkle of cheese.
- Great for meal prep: Store cooled flatbreads in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or air fryer to bring back softness.
