Ingredients You’ll Need
cottage cheese — cottage cheese is a low-calorie cheese with a mild flavor. It’s soft, white, and creamy, and it comes in different milk fat levels and curd sizes. I’m using 4% MF (4% milk fat) and usually just pick whichever container is on sale (from 4% to 2% to lactose-free!)! I’d personally skip the low-fat version.
eggs — this helps bind everything together and will give the flatbread some structure once baked.
parmesan — I love the salty, nutty flavor that parmesan adds. Plus, when melted, it gives the flatbread a nice, crisp texture.
seasoning — feel free to use your favorite seasoning combination. I’m using garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread
- Heat the oven to 350F.
- To a food processor or blender, add the cottage cheese, eggs, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Blend until smooth.
- Divide the batter between two parchment-lined eighth sheet pans.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the tops of the flatbread are golden brown.
- If using as a wrap, use immediately when warm to avoid the flatbread from tearing.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- I find that if the flatbreads are much more flexible when still warm from the oven. If I want to roll it like a wrap, I very quickly add my toppings and roll them immediately out of the oven. When using it like sandwich bread, I can use the flatbread cool or straight from the fridge.
- Some other seasonings you might like to try are red pepper flakes, dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, ranch seasoning, everything bagel seasoning, and more!
- Don’t have eighth sheet pans? Use one quarter sheet pan and cut the flatbread in half after baking! Also, Try making my cheung fun recipe if you want another recipe using an eighth sheet pan.
Make Ahead Tips
- Make Ahead: once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Reheat: no need to reheat it! I use this cottage cheese flatbread straight from the fridge.
