-
Cottage cheese

Eggs
Directions
-
I preheat my oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a blender or food processor, I combine cottage cheese and eggs, blending until completely smooth.
-
I pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into 3–4 round or oval flatbread shapes.
-

Servings and timing
This recipe makes 3–4 flatbreads.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
Total Time: 25–30 minutes
Variations
-
I sometimes add garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning to the batter for extra flavor.
-
For a cheesy twist, I sprinkle shredded mozzarella or Parmesan on top before baking.
-
I’ve also made them thinner for crispier flatbreads or left them thicker for a more bread-like texture.
-
A sprinkle of sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning on top makes them extra tasty.
-
To make mini snack versions, I spoon smaller rounds of batter onto the sheet.
storage/reheating
I store the flatbreads in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I warm them in a dry skillet for a few minutes or pop them in the oven until heated through. They can also be frozen—just separate each flatbread with parchment paper and thaw before reheating.
FAQs
Do I need to strain the cottage cheese first?
No, blending it with the eggs makes it smooth enough. If my cottage cheese is extra watery, I sometimes drain a bit of liquid first.
Can I make these in a skillet instead of the oven?
Yes, I’ve cooked them like pancakes in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. They turn out slightly different but still work well.
Are these flatbreads sturdy enough for wraps?
Yes, they’re flexible and hold fillings well, especially once cooled.
Can I make them dairy-free?
This recipe relies on cottage cheese for structure, but I’ve seen success using dairy-free cottage cheese alternatives.
How do I keep them from sticking to the parchment?
I use good-quality parchment and let the flatbreads cool for a few minutes before peeling them off—it makes a big difference.
