Ingredients
  

  • - 2 large whole eggs
  • - 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat, reduced-fat, or fat-free, preferably low-sodium
  • - ¾ teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
  • - Oregano optional, for topping
  • - Cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
  • Add the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to a food processor or blender.
  • Blend until completely smooth and creamy with no large cottage cheese curds remaining.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat the parchment with cooking spray.
  • Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread the mixture evenly into your preferred flatbread shape. Keep the thickness as consistent as possible so it cooks evenly.
  • Sprinkle oregano over the top, if desired.
  • Bake the Cottage Cheese Flatbread for approximately 30–35 minutes. A thinner flatbread may cook more quickly, while a thicker one will need additional time.
  • If using a smaller baking pan that creates a thicker flatbread, baking can take closer to 50 minutes.
  • Remove the flatbread from the oven when the surface and edges begin to turn golden brown.
  • Allow it to cool completely before carefully removing it from the parchment, slicing, or adding fillings.

Notes

Full-fat, reduced-fat, and fat-free cottage cheese can all work in this recipe. Because moisture levels differ between brands and varieties, the final texture and baking time may vary slightly.
For a simple version, use only eggs and cottage cheese. Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and oregano add more savory flavor but are optional.
Serve this protein flatbread with eggs and vegetables for breakfast, use it as the base for an open-faced sandwich, or fill it with grilled chicken, turkey, cheese, and fresh vegetables.
