4.2 from 7 reviews

This viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread is a protein-packed, low-carb, and naturally gluten-free bread alternative perfect for sandwiches. Made with just cottage cheese and eggs, it’s easy, nutritious, and offers a sturdy base to elevate your favorite sandwich fillings.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 flatbreads

Ingredients

Flatbread

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or 2%)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sandwich Toppings (optional)

  • Rotisserie chicken or turkey breast
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Dill mayo
  • Red onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper, making creases on the corners for neat edges. If using a larger half-sheet pan, double the recipe.
  2. Blend ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Pour and spread the batter: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Tilt the pan to evenly spread the batter into a thin, uniform layer. Sprinkle a little extra Italian seasoning on top for added flavor.
  4. Bake the flatbread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the flatbread is golden brown around the edges. The flatbread will puff during baking and settle as it cools.
  5. Cool and slice: Let the flatbread cool on the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Then cut it in half to create two flatbreads ready for sandwiches.
  6. Serve and store: Fill the flatbread with your favorite sandwich toppings such as mayo, chicken, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Store any leftovers between parchment paper in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy cold or reheated.

Notes

  • You can customize toppings to your preference; try avocado, cheese, or roasted vegetables.
  • If you don’t have a blender or food processor, whisk the ingredients thoroughly but expect a slightly different texture.
  • Ensure the flatbread cools completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • For a crispier flatbread, you can broil it for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled to fit larger pans or to make extra servings.
