Cottage Cheese Flatbread TikTok

This cottage cheese flatbread has quickly become a go to in my kitchen especially when I want something satisfying yet healthy without spending a lot of time. The beauty of this recipe is how easily it transitions from a breakfast wrap to a pizza base or just a snack with dips. Every time I share it with friends they are totally surprised it is just cottage cheese and eggs.

The first time I tried this was during a busy week and it kept me energized all afternoon. It has now become my favorite way to use up cottage cheese before it expires.

Ingredients

• Cottage cheese: use a creamy kind for smooth blending and protein
• Eggs: they provide structure and help the flatbread hold together
• Garlic powder: boosts the savory flavor choose a fresh jar for best aroma
• Italian seasoning: gives herby depth opt for a good blend with rosemary oregano and basil
• Quality is key: so pick a cottage cheese with minimal ingredients and fresh eggs for a fluffy texture

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Mixture:

Add cottage cheese eggs garlic powder and Italian seasoning to a personal blender or small food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps. This should take about 30 seconds and ensures your flatbread will not be grainy.

Prep the Pan:

Lay out a sheet of parchment paper on your sheet pan and lightly spray it with non stick spray. This keeps the flatbread from sticking and makes cleanup easy. Pour the blended mixture onto the center of the parchment.

Spread the Batter:

Use a spatula to gently spread the mixture into an even layer across the pan not too thick or thin. Take your time to reach every corner and ensure uniform thickness for even baking.

Bake:

Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and let it heat fully. Place the pan on the middle rack. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the edges are deeply golden and the center has set. This timing gives the best chewy yet flexible texture.

Cool and Slice:

Once baked remove the flatbread from the oven. Let it cool completely on the pan before trying to slice or move it. Cooling helps it firm up so each piece holds together when picked up.

One of my favorite childhood memories is topping this flatbread with a garden tomato salad in the summer. Now my kids love helping spread the batter and watching it bake.

Storage Tips

Let your flatbread cool then store slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage wrap individual pieces in plastic and freeze them in a zip top bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in a toaster oven for the best texture.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you want a dairy free version try silken tofu in place of cottage cheese. For a kick you can switch garlic powder with onion powder or add red pepper flakes. A sprinkle of nutritional yeast brings cheesy depth if you miss extra cheese flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Use flatbread as a base for open faced sandwiches or breakfast wraps with scrambled eggs and veggies. Cut into long strips to scoop up dips like hummus or salsa. Top with pizza sauce mozzarella and any favorite veggies for a quick pizza night.
