This 2 ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread is the best gluten-free, high protein, low calorie, keto alternative to bread. If you are trying to eat healthier, make the Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread. It’s quick, easy, tasty and perfect for low carb sandwiches.
My girlfriend and I are heavy consumers of cottage cheese. It’s so tasty and versatile that we use it for many recipes like cottage cheese pancakes, cottage cheese brownies and even cottage cheese pizza. Plus, it’s healthy and packed with protein.
Long store made short, yesterday we run out of cottage cheese again. So we went to Aldi to get some but none was left. The same for Lidl, nothing in the fridge shelves. Well, we sadly walked home with empty bags and all our cravings. After dinner I opened TikTok and a cottage cheese flatbread recipe showed up. Then another one, then another one and another one. Was the TikTok algorithm reading my mind – again – or what?! Is it a new trend like the cookie croissant, blueberry yogurt clusters, or frozen banana snickers?
Yes, cottage cheese flatbread is a thing. It’s the newest healthy TikTok viral recipe. I love it, and you will love it too!

2 Ingredient cottage cheese flatbread
This TikTok viral cottage cheese flatbread recipe requires just 2 simple ingredients. Cottage cheese and eggs. In addition, you may want to add extra seasonings such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning. Here are some more details:
- Cottage cheese. We used full fat cottage cheese, it has a much richer taste and gives the viral bread a better texture. As an alternative you can also use 2% cottage cheese, or plant based cottage cheese. Low fat cottage cheese is not recommended.
- Eggs. The TikTok viral recipe blends cottage cheese with eggs. You’ll need 2 whole eggs, or one whole egg plus one egg white. I do not recommend using egg whites only, as they won’t give your bread the same taste and texture.
- Seasonings of choice. Cottage cheese has already plenty of flavor by itself, rich and salty. But you can add other herbs and seasonings such as onion powder, garlic powder, everything but the bagel seasoning, dried oregano, Italian seasonings, or more sea salt.
How to make cottage cheese flatbread
Here’s how to make the TikTok viral cottage cheese flatbread recipe with 2 ingredients only. As always, you can find the detailed directions in the recipe card at the end of this blog post.
- Prepare for baking ⏲️. Heat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9 x 13 baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper or baking sheet very well to prevent sticking.
- Make low carb dough ?. Add cottage cheese, eggs and seasonings of choice to a blender and process until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly.
- Bake cottage cheese bread ?. Bake cottage cheese flat bread in hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Enjoy with your favorite toppings as a low carb alternative to bread.
How to store cottage cheese flatbread?
Making cottage cheese flat bread in bulk is perfect for low carb and high protein meal prep. Before storing, allow the flat bread to cool completely to room temperature. Once it has cooled, place it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a longer storage, wrap the bread in plastic wrap and then place it in a resealable freezer bag. Freeze cottage cheese bread for up to a month.
Recipe tips
- Grease the baking sheet very well with olive oil, cooking spray or butter before pouring in the blended cheese. Once again, you have to GREASE the parchment paper and/or baking sheet very, very well otherwise the flatbread will stick to the pan!
- Do not make cottage cheese flatbread with nonfat cottage cheese, or it will taste like cardboard. Full fat or 2% cottage cheese gives the best result in terms of taste and texture.
- Remove the liquid on top of the cheese, if there is any. You’ll want a thick and firm cheese, otherwise the flatbread is going to turn out soggy and may stick to the pan.
- Avoid adding too much salt, or the protein flatbread will taste too salty. Cottage cheese already contains salt by itself, so you should not go overboard with it. For more flavor you can blend in other seasonings such as garlic powder or onion powder. I like using low sodium seasoning mix.
- Customize this recipe to your likings. Experiment with seasonings, blend in some low fat shredded cheddar cheese or Parmesan cheese, or try cottage cheese with chives and herbs.
Serving ideas
- Spread some Italian pesto over of your low carb bread and serve with sliced mozzarella, ham, or chicken breast for more protein.
- Top with tuna and sliced avocado, then drizzle with mayo, sriracha or hot sauce for a keto spicy tuna sandwich.
- Fill with sliced ham, sliced cheese, homemade Big Mac sauce, fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes. The perfect healthy sandwich for lunch.
- Serve the TikTok cottage cheese bread with fresh slices of mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil for an Italian Caprese sandwich.
- Top with tomato sauce and shredded cheese, heat it up and turn your flat bread into a protein pizza.
- Stuff it with your favorite fillings and serve alongside a fresh salad like cucumber salad, cucumber tomato salad, keto Big Mac salad, or watermelon salad with feta.
- Spread some whipped cottage cheese all over your protein wrap, then top with fresh veggies, sliced tomatoes, and sliced mozzarella.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions
No, the viral cottage cheese flatbread must be baked in the oven. I have tried halving the quantities using one egg and then cooking it in a Ninja air fryer, but it did not turn out good.
Yes, theoretically you could make a 1 ingredient cottage cheese flatbread without eggs, but the result is not the same. One important thing to keep in mind is that you must remove any excess liquid on top of cottage cheese before pouring it over the baking sheet.
I do not recommend making this recipe with just egg whites. If you want to reduce fats and calories, use one whole egg and one egg white. But egg whites alone won’t produce the same result.
Yes, full fat ricotta cheese has a similar texture, which makes it a suitable alternative. Just keep in mind that ricotta is creamier and slightly milder in flavor, so you may want to add some extra salt. For the best results, drain any excess liquid from the ricotta before using it.
I haven’t tried it personally, and I cannot guarantee that you can make the viral flatbread with Greek yogurt or quark. But I think that thick full fat Greek yogurt should work fine. Just drain any liquid on top of the yogurt and add more salt.
Is it eggy? Does it taste like an omelette or quiche? It is tasty? There are many questions you may have. Well, it may surprise you but the viral cottage cheese flatbread does not taste eggy. It’s cheesy and flavorful, with a crunchy texture.
This TikTok viral flatbread is crunchy. Unlike many people think, it is not soggy at all. What’s important is that you bake it well, for about 40 minutes until it is not soft anymore.
One entire flatbread has about 288 calories, 41 grams of protein, 5.8 grams of carbs and 10.7 grams of fat. Precise nutritional values may vary depending on the fat percentage of the cottage cheese used and additional ingredients you may add.

Could I substitute Greek yogurt in place of cottage cheese?
Hey! You may use 5% Greek yogurt, it should work fine.
Have a great day,
Matteo
Loved this recipe, thank yoo for sharing. Do you think this could be used in place of pasta noodles in a lasagna?
Hey!
Thanks a lot for your feedback, I am so happy you liked this protein-packed flatbread recipe with cottage cheese. I have to be honest and I’ve never tried it in a lasagna, BUT I have to say that your idea is FANTASTIC! I must try it myself soon, so I still do not exactly know if it works. But I bet it works amazingly, there should be no issue.
Let us know in case you try!

I only had 1% cottage cheese, so I added 1 tsp heavy cream to the mix. Added a dash of Greek seasoning. Blended up so smooth! Tastes sooo good! And my husband is really impressed! He doesn’t usually like cottage cheese and he said “I never would have know what it was made of. Tastes just like a good bread!” He even said he wondered if this would work for tortilla substitutes and he is ready to try it as a pizza! Score!!!!
Hey dear Patricia,

Cant wait to try! Can egg whites be used instead of whole eggs?
Have a weird egg allergy
Hey my dear Sue,
thanks a lot for your comment!! I have already tried making my cottage cheese wrap with egg whites only, but unfortunately it does not produce the same result. The flatbread does not come out as tasty and soft as in the case of whole eggs. So, I wouldn’t recommend it. But again, it can still work in case you have an egg allergy.
Have a fantastic day,
Matteo
Incoming dumb question. Should they be refrigerated since they are made with dairy and eggs?
Hey dear Sandy,
Thanks a lot for your comment. You can find all the precise storage information on how to best preserve freshness on the blog post up here 😉
Have a great day,
Matteo
Oh my heavens, this is my go to wrap. It is phenomenal. I’m a vegetarian, gluten free, and I missed eating wraps. The alternative wraps at the store are way too expensive. I make this and then place steamed mushrooms (drained well) roasted red peppers, olive oil and parmesan inside. What a treat! Thank you!
Hey dear Diane,
many many thanks for your kind feedback!!! I am incredibly glad that you liked my cottage cheese flatbread recipe. So so happy that you were finally able to enjoy wraps again. Oh and by the way, I absolutely love your fillings. Especially the mushroom – Parmesan cheese combo!
Have a great day,
Matteo
