Q1. Can I make cottage cheese flatbread without eggs?

Yes, but the texture will be softer. Substitute 2 tbsp of egg whites or 1 tbsp of chia seeds mixed with 2½ tbsp of water for a vegetarian-friendly option.

Q2. Is cottage cheese flatbread gluten-free?

Absolutely. With just cottage cheese and eggs, this recipe is naturally gluten-free — great for anyone following a low-carb or keto plan.

Q3. Can I bake this flatbread instead of microwaving?

Yes. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–14 minutes until set and lightly golden. The texture will be slightly firmer and perfect for wraps.

Q4. How can I increase the protein content even more?

Add 1 tablespoon of unflavored whey or pea protein powder into the mix before microwaving. This boosts your protein per serving to about 30g.

Ingredients

Scale

½ cup (120g) cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

Pinch of sea salt (optional)
¼ tsp garlic powder or oregano (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base
In a medium bowl, whisk together cottage cheese and eggs until smooth. For the smoothest texture, use a hand blender.

Step 2: Season (Optional)
Add a pinch of salt and your choice of herbs or protein powder. Mix well until combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Dish
Lightly grease a microwave-safe plate or silicone dish with oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Pour and Spread
Pour the mixture onto the dish and spread evenly to about ¼ inch thickness for flexible flatbread.

Step 5: Microwave to Cook
Microwave on high for 4–5 minutes, depending on your microwave wattage. The flatbread is done when the center is set and the edges slightly lift from the dish.

Step 6: Cool and Remove
Let it cool for 1–2 minutes before lifting. Use silicone tongs to remove it carefully.

Step 7: Optional Toast Finish
For a crispier texture, pan-toast or air fry for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden.

Notes

You can bake instead of microwaving at 375°F (190°C) for 12–14 minutes.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze with parchment between layers.
Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.

Try turning it into chips or use it as a wrap with grilled chicken or turkey.
