Why you’ll love this cottage cheese flatbread

Easy Simply blend and bake!

Just 2 ingredients You just need the cottage cheese and eggs for this to work but adding seasonings will give it more flavor so I would highly recommend it. Feel free to season with what you have in your spice cabinet. I know most of us have salt and pepper on hand.

High protein Both the cottage cheese and eggs make this high in protein.

low carb Just 3 grams per half cup in the cottage cheese that I used.

A great alternative to refined and high-carb gluten-free pizza bases. Many gluten-free pizzas available in the market are made from refined, high-carb ingredients like rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour.

The ingredients

Cottage cheese I used the Good Culture brand (affiliate link).

Eggs Some recipes use just the egg whites but I have whole eggs in mine. I have not tried it without the yolks but I am guessing it would be lighter and more wrap-like. This recipe is denser and makes for a better pizza crust which is what I made with it.

Seasonings I used garlic and onion powder according to the original recipe but used oregano since I did not have Italian seasoning. You can use just salt and pepper if you wish since we need a blank canvas to add toppings to later. This cottage cheese flatbread is pretty forgiving!

How to make it

Preheat the oven Set your oven to 350ºF/177ºC and while it preheats, start on the cottage cheese flatbread. Blend In a blender, add the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend till smooth.

Spread out In a quarter sheet parchment lined pan, pour the mixture, and spread it out evenly.

Season Add oregano or Italian seasoning if you like, I added it because I wanted to make it a pizza base.

Bake for 30-40 minutes depending on the strength of your oven.

Cottage cheese flatbread pizza

I made the flatbread into a pizza base so after I took it out of the oven, I spread out 1/4 cup of homemade pizza sauce and sprinkled some mozzarella cheese, sliced red onions, and sliced sweet peppers. Baked again for 5 minutes till the cheese had melted and finished off with some arugula/rocket leaves and crushed red pepper flakes. Hit the spot without the heaviness and bloating!

Tips to get the best results

• Use a quarter sheet pan (affiliate link) for this recipe and do not forget to line it with parchment! I found this size to be perfect for the amount of ingredients we use for the flatbread.
• The cottage cheese I used does not have a lot of water. Make sure to drain all the water if your cottage cheese has it.

• Keep an eye on it while it’s baking as ovens vary and I found mine to be a bit browner than I liked at the 40-minute mark. Hence the range in the recipe card.

Variations

I made this into a pizza but you can use it for sandwiches too! Use it as you would a wrap and make my Tuna Sandwich Spread as a filling for a quick lunch!

Storage

This cottage cheese flatbread is best eaten fresh but if you do store it, make sure it is an airtight container or zip-top bag and reheat it in the toaster oven when ready to eat.
