Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs

Optional Flavor Enhancers

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt to taste (optional)
  • Everything bagel seasoning for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese and 2 large eggs to a blender or food processor. Blend for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible cottage cheese curds. If you don’t have a blender, mash the cottage cheese with a fork until smooth, then whisk in the eggs vigorously.
  2. Shape and Spread: Pour the smooth batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it into a rustic circle about 8 to 10 inches wide and approximately 1/4 inch thick. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly shaped; a rustic look works perfectly for this flatbread.
  3. Bake Until Golden: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center feels set when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and let the flatbread cool for 2 to 3 minutes before adding toppings or slicing.

Notes

  • Always preheat your oven to ensure even baking and avoid a soggy center.
  • Blend the mixture thoroughly for the creamiest, smoothest texture and better baking results.
  • Spread batter thickness around 1/4 inch to avoid it being too thin (cracker-like) or too thick (gummy center).
  • Watch the flatbread closely near the end of the baking time; remove once edges are golden to keep a soft, chewy texture.
  • For dairy-free variation, substitute cottage cheese with cashew-based cottage cheese alternatives.
  • Use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, rested 5 minutes) as an egg substitute for egg-free diets.
  • Add dried herbs or seasonings like oregano, garlic powder, or everything bagel seasoning to boost flavor.
  • Incorporate unflavored protein powder for an extra protein boost.
