What You’ll Need
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or 2% works best)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional for extra structure)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: pinch of dried herbs like oregano or basil
Pro Tips
- Blend until smooth – the cottage cheese needs to be fully broken down to create a smooth batter.
- Use parchment paper – it prevents sticking and helps the flatbread bake evenly.
- Add herbs or spices – for extra flavor, mix in a bit of Italian seasoning, chili flakes, or nutritional yeast.
- Let it cool before cutting – this helps the flatbread firm up and hold its shape.
- Make mini versions – for quick sandwich thins or single-serving pizza crusts.
Tools You’ll Need
- Blender or food processor
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheet

How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheese, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and optional herbs. Blend until completely smooth.
Step 2: Pour onto a Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the batter onto the sheet and spread into a thin round or oval shape using a spatula.
Step 3: Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown at the edges and firm in the center.
Step 4: Cool and Slice
Remove from oven and let the flatbread cool for 5–10 minutes. Slice into wedges or squares, or leave whole if using as a wrap.
Step 5: Serve
Serve warm or at room temperature. Use it as a wrap, dip it in sauces, top with eggs, or layer like a pizza.
Leftovers & Storage
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- To keep flatbread fresh, layer with parchment between pieces to prevent sticking.
- Reheat in a skillet, toaster oven, or air fryer to crisp up again.
- Freeze for up to 2 months—wrap tightly and place in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat directly from frozen.
Recipe FAQ
1. Does the flatbread taste like cottage cheese?
Nope! Once blended and baked, the cottage cheese flavor disappears, leaving behind a mild, cheesy, slightly tangy bread that works well with both savory and sweet toppings.
2. Can I make this without a blender?
A blender or food processor is highly recommended for a smooth batter. If you don’t have one, use whipped or small-curd cottage cheese and mash well with a fork or immersion blender until mostly smooth.

Yes! You can store it in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze it for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet, toaster oven, or air fryer to restore texture.
4. Can I use egg substitutes in this recipe?
You can try using flax eggs, but the texture may be less sturdy and more crumbly. For best structure and flexibility, real eggs work best.
5. How can I use the flatbread?
It’s super versatile—use it as a sandwich wrap, dipper, pizza base, or even for breakfast topped with eggs and avocado. You can also slice it into wedges and serve with hummus or tzatziki.
