Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe

Ingredients you’ll need

You’ll need just 2 ingredients: cottage cheese and 2 large eggs. Here are all details and substitutes, you can find precise quantities in the recipe card at the bottom.

Cottage Cheese Flatbread Ingredients: Cottage cheese and 2 eggs

Cottage cheese – Full fat cottage cheese (4%) gives a richer taste and a better texture. Nonfat, 2% fat and lactose-free options will all work. If you’re not a fan, use ricotta instead.
Eggs – Two whole eggs act as binder. One egg + one egg white will work, but only egg whites won’t. Your flatbread may get dry and rubbery.
Seasonings of choice – Cottage cheese is high in sodium, so go easy on salt. For more flavor, blend in onion powder, garlic powder, Everything But The Bagel seasoning, Italian seasonings, or cayenne pepper.

How to make cottage cheese flatbread

Step 1 – Prep equipment. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a quarter sheet baking pan or a 9 x 13 baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper or baking sheet with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2 – Drain cottage cheese. Drain any excess liquid on top of the cottage cheese.

Step 3 – Blend. Add cottage cheese, eggs and seasonings of choice to a blender and process until smooth.

Step 4 – Bake. Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Bake in hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges start to brown. Baking times may vary based on the thickness of your flatbread and oven used.

Recipe tips

Grease the baking pan – To prevent sticking, coat the pan with olive oil, cooking spray or butter before pouring in the mixture. Lining it with parchment paper works too.
Use full fat cottage cheese – If using nonfat cottage cheese, it will taste like cardboard. Full fat (4%) or 2% fat gives the best taste and texture.
Drain the cheese – Remove the liquid on top, if any. You’ll want a thick and firm texture, or the flatbread may get soggy and stick to the pan.
Go easy on seasonings – Avoid too much salt, the cheese is already salty. For more flavor, blend in garlic powder, onion powder, or low sodium seasoning mix.
Add your touch – Experiment with seasonings, blend in (low fat) shredded cheddar or Parmesan, chives and herbs. Or turn it into a keto pizza crust.

Serving ideas

Chicken pesto – Spread some Italian pesto over the surface. Serve with sliced mozzarella, and chicken breast for more protein.
Tuna avocado – Top with tuna, creamy avocado, and sliced tomatoes. Then drizzle with healthy mayonnaise and sriracha for spiciness.
Ham sandwich – Fill with ham, sliced cheese, fresh lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Matteo’s tip: add some avocado!
Caprese flatbread – Serve with slices of mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
Veggie sandwich – Spread the wrap with cottage cheese dip, hummus, or Greek yogurt ranch dressing. Enjoy with roasted veggies on top (I love mushrooms).

Cottage cheese flatbread pizza

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place your flatbread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. It must be already baked.
Spread a few tablespoons of pizza sauce over the top, leaving a slight border around the edges.
Sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella and your favorite toppings. Turkey pepperoni, sautéed mushrooms and shredded chicken are my favorite.
Pop into the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes. It’s ready when the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

How to store and freeze

Before storing, allow any leftover to cool completely to room temperature. Once cool, place in an airtight container, or wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To freeze, wrap it in plastic wrap and then place in a zipper bag. Freeze cottage cheese flatbread for up to 1 month.

When ready to eat, thaw it completely in the refrigerator first. Then, reheat in hot oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or air fry for a few minutes until crisp. If you’re short on time, microwave it for about 30 seconds (warning, it may get soggy).

Frequently asked questions

Can I air fry cottage cheese flatbread?

Of course! Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C) and line the basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Blend your cottage cheese, eggs, and seasonings until smooth. Then, pour the mixture onto the parchment, spreading it evenly. Air fry for about 15-18 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is firm.

Can I skip the eggs?

Yes, but the result is not the same. For a vegan option, use dairy-free cottage cheese and swap eggs for 2 flaxseed eggs.

Can I make cottage cheese flatbread with egg whites?

1 egg + 1 egg white works, but just egg whites won’t. Your flatbread may get dry and rubbery.

Can I use Greek yogurt or quark?

I haven’t tried it personally, and I cannot guarantee it works. But I’ve seen some TikTokers doing so. Choose full fat Greek yogurt, drain any liquid on top, and add more salt.

Why is my flatbread soggy?

Excess moisture is the reason.
Drain any liquid from the cheese before blending, and use whole milk (4%) or 2% fat. Bake or air fry it long enough until the center is firm and the edges are golden. And go easy on watery toppings like fresh tomatoes or too much sauce!
