What you will need
This recipe uses 8 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup full fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Pan
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Blend the Batter
Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible curds.
Step 3: Season the Mixture
Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the seasonings are evenly incorporated.
Step 4: Bake the Flatbread
Pour the batter onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it into an even rectangle or oval shape about a quarter inch thick. Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top and bake for 28 to 30 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is fully set.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the flatbread to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the parchment. Use it as a wrap, pizza base, or slice it into pieces and serve with your favorite toppings.

- Spreading the batter too thick which results in an undercooked and soft center
- Removing the flatbread from the oven too early before the edges are fully golden brown
