Turn ordinary staples into a tasty protein booster with this cottage cheese flatbread. With just two simple ingredients, you’ll get a golden, soft slice that feels hearty. Use it as a sandwich holder, pizza base, or just snack on it with whatever you love on top.
When I needed more protein but didn’t want to use powders or shakes, I stumbled on this. To be honest, I doubted that you could make bread with only two things. But one batch—totally changed my mind. Now I make it all the time, and even my family sometimes asks for it over regular flatbread.
Tasty Ingredients You Need
- Eggs (Large): Make sure they’re at room temperature, so your mix binds and puffs up just right. They’re the backbone for holding everything together.
- Cottage Cheese: Go for 2% or the full-fat type to get the fluffiest texture and richest flavor. Those curds help keep it soft and add plenty of protein.
- Seasonings (Totally Optional): These take things up a notch. Toss in a pinch of salt or whatever you like to add extra taste.
Simple Steps for Making It
- Get Ready:
- Fire up your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a quarter sheet pan, cover with parchment paper, and spray it well with olive oil (keeps things from sticking). Toss your eggs and cottage cheese into a blender till smooth.
- Blend to Smoothness:
- Whizz everything until you can’t spot any curds. You want it thick like pancake mix. If it’s too thick, a splash of milk helps. Too thin? Add more cottage cheese.
- Spread It Out:
- Pour your batter onto the pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly—aim for a quarter-inch thickness. Make sure corners get as much batter as the middle.
- Bake It:
- Stick it on the middle oven rack. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes until you see puffed-up, golden edges. The center should look set, not jiggly.
- Cool Down and Eat:
- Let it sit on the pan till it’s totally cool. Slice with a pizza cutter. Store any leftovers right so they’re good for later.

I’ve tried a ton of healthy breads, and this changed the game for me. My daughter, who’s usually not into anything labeled ‘healthy,’ actually asks for this in her lunchbox.
Fun Ways to Use It
Try it as a pizza base, avocado toast canvas, or to wrap up sandwich fillings. The flavor’s so chill you can go sweet or savory—whatever you’re craving.
How to Keep It Fresh
To keep your flatbread in tip-top shape, pop it in an airtight container in the fridge. Lay parchment between pieces so they don’t stick together.
After loads of batches (and a few fails), I’m convinced this flatbread totally changed the way I eat better. When a simple method gives you both nutrition and real satisfaction, it’s worth making again and again.
