Have you come across a cottage cheese trend? Me too. Some say, this cottage cheese madness has to end. But, I don’t think you are one of these people cause you just searched for a cottage cheese flatbread, right? Well, you have found it. This is it!
The viral cottage cheese flatbread you may have seen on socials and now you want full instructions on how to actually make it, successfully.
I laid it out for you step by step in this recipe, it’s actually very simple. And if you need ideas on what to put into or on to your cottage cheese flatbread, I’ve got you covered. Ideas and suggestions below the recipe.
Nutritionist’s Point of View on This Trend
The personal trainer/nutrition coach in me just couldn’t help it. I mean, a super versatile protein bread that takes just a few minutes to whip up? Yes, please.
From a nutrition perspective, this is exactly the kind of recipe I love to see trending. It’s built around real, whole-food ingredients that actually support your body, not just fill you up.
Here’s why this flatbread works so well nutritionally:
High in Protein (and actually satisfying)
Eggs and cottage cheese are both high-quality protein sources, which means this flatbread supports:
muscle repair and recovery
stable energy levels
better satiety (so you’re not hungry again 20 minutes later)
That also makes it a great post-workout option when your body is looking for protein without heaviness.
Lower Carb & Blood Sugar Friendly
Because this flatbread skips refined flours, it’s naturally lower in carbohydrates than traditional wraps or bread. This makes it a great option if you:
are watching your carbs
are managing blood sugar levels
follow a lower-carb or keto-style way of eating
or just feel better without heavy bread
You still get something soft and flexible, without the crash.
Clean Ingredients (No Nasties)
Unlike many store-bought wraps that are loaded with:
refined flours
seed oils
preservatives
and long ingredient lists
This version keeps things simple and nourishing. You know exactly what’s going into it, and your gut will thank you for it.
Great for Veggie Loading
Because this flatbread is neutral and flexible, it’s perfect for:
loading up with salad
adding roasted veggies
wrapping grilled chicken or salmon
or using as a base for a veggie-packed sandwich
It’s an easy way to sneak more vegetables into your day without feeling like you’re “eating diet food.”
Supports Bone, Brain & Overall Health
Eggs provide essential amino acids, choline for brain health, and fat-soluble vitamins.
Cottage cheese adds calcium for bone health and extra protein to keep you fuller for longer.
It’s a simple combo, but a very smart one.
About the Texture (Because I Know Some of You Are Wondering)
If you’re not a fan of the texture of cottage cheese, don’t worry — once it’s blended, it becomes completely smooth and creamy. No lumps, no weird texture, just a soft, flexible flatbread.
A good blender really is your best friend here.
Why You’re Going to Love This Simple Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe
Let’s be real: finding a gluten-free bread that isn’t dry or weirdly chewy can feel like a mission. This quick cottage cheese flatbread recipe is a total game-changer.
It’s super easy to make, very versatile, you can use it so many ways and it actually taste great. I tested it on myself and my own family. If my fussy hubby ate it, then you know it’s got to be good. He is the type that normally says, “I don’t want any trendy, weird stuff on my plate”.

Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese (approx 400g or 14oz) (it doesn't matter as most cottage cheese is relatively low in fat anyway)
- 4 Medium size eggs Or eggwhites if you want to make it extra lean
- 1 tsp Oregano or Italian herbs Optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 330°F (165°C). A hot oven is essential for achieving a crispy crust. But you don't want it so high that it burns.
- In a food processor or using an immersion blender, blend the cottage cheese together with eggs until smooth. You can add your optional herbs to the blender too.
- Pour gently onto the baking sheet/tray and make sure you have enough room for them to spread out. They will spread alot as they will be quiet runny. To get 2 x 10 inch flatbreads, they should be around 0.2 inches thick.
- Bake the flatbreads for 15-20 minutes or until they turn a golden brown color. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning. You don't need to flip them, and it's ok if the underside is pale, this can be the inner side of the wrap.
- Once baked, let them cool a bit and flip them on to a plate, browned side down and gently peel away the baking paper from the bottom side of the cottage cheese flatbread.

Add a Little Flavour (Or a Lot!)
This easy recipe is super versatile, so don’t be shy with the seasonings. I love adding Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprinkle of black pepper for a lot of flavour. Feeling fancy? Toss in some parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese, or even a bit of fresh garlic or some chilli powder for a Mediterranean twist. You can totally make it your own with different flavours—just raid your spice rack and see what speaks to you!
How to Bake It Like a Pro
For that perfect golden brown colour, bake in a hot oven, toaster oven, or even your air fryer if you want to try something new. Just keep an eye on it—30-35 minutes is usually the sweet spot for me if using the oven. If the edges get a bit too crispy, just trim them off with scissors on your cutting board. Easy fix!
If you are using the pre-formed baking papers/sheets, then you won’t have that problem.

How many flatbreads does this recipe make?
It makes 2 wraps around 10 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick Dianne, I will add this to the recipe, thank you for asking this. I think saying 2 servings is not specific enough.
Holy smokes. This is delicious!!! I am having a hard time cutting bread out of my diet and this recipe just saved me. I LOVE IT. I’m planning on making it ahead of time to take camping for everyone to try! It is so good and there’s so many things you can do with it!
Glad you like it Kelos. I love it too that it makes you feel like you are having something so filling without the bread. If you like filling keto recipes try one of my casseroles too, they are so hearty and wholesome, you won’t miss the pasta or the rice either.
How long can these be stored in fridge?
Hi Nina, I’ve kept it in the fridge for up to 5 days and they were still ok. But I would probably recommend around 4 days for freshness.
Up to 4 days Nina, but I even used it on day 5. They just taste better in the first 4 days.
Thank you for this recipe, I really turned out great.
Thats awesome to hear. I love experimenting with the fillings too.
