Ingredients You’ll Need

The cottage cheese 2 ingredient flatbread foundation

To make this cottage cheese 2 ingredient flatbread, all you need are:

• Cottage cheese – Opt for full-fat or low-fat, but be sure it’s thick and not too watery. A whipped or small curd version blends best and gives a smooth, creamy base that holds together well. If your cottage cheese is chunky, give it a quick blend before using.
• Eggs – Whole eggs provide structure and bind the flatbread without flour. They also contribute to the golden color and soft chew you want in a healthy flatbread.

Optional but helpful seasonings include garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, or Italian herbs. These bring out flavor without overpowering the flatbread’s mild base. You can also sprinkle sea salt or add a bit of chili powder for extra warmth.

A quick heads-up: if your cottage cheese has too much liquid, strain it for 5 to 10 minutes through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. This makes a huge difference in texture. Don’t skip it.

For tools, you’ll want a blender or food processor, a rubber spatula, parchment paper, and a quarter sheet pan or standard baking tray. A silicone baking mat works too, but parchment helps with even edges and easy cleanup.

2. Blend 1 cup of cottage cheese with 2 large eggs in a food processor or blender until smooth. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
3. Pour the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it into an even rectangle or circle, depending on how you plan to use it.

2. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing or using as a wrap.

The texture should be flexible but sturdy, great for rolling or folding. For a crispier finish, extend the baking time slightly or broil it for 1 to 2 minutes at the end.

Seasoning & Flavor Variations

The flavor is mild, making it simple to customize to your taste. Here are a few seasoning ideas that bring it to life without overpowering the natural richness of the cottage cheese and eggs.

Storage, Freezing & Meal Prep Advice

One of the best things about cottage cheese 2 ingredient flatbread is how well it stores and holds up during meal prep.

Meal Prep Tip: Bake a double batch on Sunday, cut into wrap-size pieces, and use throughout the week for breakfast sandwiches, lunch wraps, or a quick pizza dinner.

This flexibility makes it perfect for batch cooks, low-carb eaters, or anyone who needs healthy, ready-to-go bread alternatives without artificial ingredients.
