Ingredients

- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour)

- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for greasing pan)
How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush or spray it with olive oil.
Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese
Add cottage cheese and eggs to a food processor or blender. Blend for 15–20 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 4: Combine and Stir
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula just until combined and no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Step 5: Shape the Flatbreads
Spoon 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the prepared sheet. Gently spread each portion into an oval or round shape about 1/4 inch thick. You should have 4–6 flatbreads, depending on size.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until the flatbreads are golden on the edges and set in the middle. For extra browning, switch to broil for the last 1–2 minutes (optional).
Step 7: Serve
Allow the flatbreads to cool slightly, then carefully lift them from the pan. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- Full-fat cottage cheese yields the fluffiest, richest flatbread, but low-fat works fine if you prefer.
- If the batter is too thick, add 1–2 extra tablespoons of milk or water for easy spreading.
- Letting the flatbreads cool for a few minutes helps them firm up for perfect texture.
Variations
- Gluten-Free: Swap all-purpose flour for gluten-free blend or almond flour.
- Herb Delight: Add 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill) for savory flavor.
- Cheesy Twist: Mix in 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan for extra cheesy richness.

Can I make these flatbreads dairy-free?

What can I use instead of all-purpose flour?
Whole wheat flour, gluten-free blend, or almond flour all work for this cottage cheese flatbread recipe.
