Cottage Cheese Flatbread
The viral flourless version: cottage cheese, eggs, an oven.
OVERHYPEDA solid high-protein wrap, but anyone calling this 'bread' is lying to you - it's a flat baked omelet.
tested 2026-07 Made the flourless viral version (cottage cheese + eggs, baked) the primary recipe; the old skillet flour-dough version moved to a note.
Ingredients
tap to check off
- 1 cup (225g) full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (a pinch of table salt)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp Italian herbs or everything bagel seasoning (optional)

- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment and mist the parchment lightly with oil - this thing loves to stick.
- Blend cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and seasonings until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Lumps bake into rubbery pockets.
- Pour onto the parchment and spread into a thin rectangle, roughly 8x11 inches and 1/4 inch thick. Thinner at the edges = burnt lace; keep it even.
- Bake until golden brown across the surface and fully set in the center - the eggs should be completely cooked with no wet sheen (an instant-read in the middle will read 160°F+).
- Cool , then peel off the parchment. Warm, it's flexible enough to fold and roll.
- Use as a wrap, or top like a pizza and broil until the cheese melts.
Notes
- Full-fat cottage cheese only. Nonfat weeps water and bakes up rubbery.
- This is not bread and won't fool anyone who's had bread. It IS a genuinely useful low-carb, high-protein wrap that holds fillings without cracking.
- Want an actual chewy flatbread instead? The pre-viral 2-ingredient dough version: blend 1 cup (225g) cottage cheese smooth, mix with 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp salt into a sticky dough, roll thin with plenty of flour, and cook in an oiled skillet 2-3 minutes per side. More carbs, more bread.
When it goes wrong
- Stuck to the parchment → you skipped oiling it, or peeled while piping hot; grease the paper and give it 5 minutes.
- Wet, eggy middle → underbaked or spread too thick; it needs to be golden and set edge to edge.
- Rubbery texture → nonfat cottage cheese or unblended lumps; use full-fat and blend fully smooth.
- Cracks when rolled → overbaked or rolled cold; wrap while still warm.
