# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. This High Protein 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread bakes best on a well-prepped surface, so lightly smooth the parchment to remove any wrinkles before adding your batter.
02 -
Add 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese and 2 large eggs to a blender or food processor. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy with no visible curds. A silky, lump-free batter is the secret to a perfectly even flatbread texture.
03 -
Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and stir in 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp dried Italian seasoning, and 1/8 tsp fine sea salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout your High Protein 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread batter.
04 -
Combine 1 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp unsalted butter, then lightly brush the mixture over your parchment-lined baking sheet. This non-stick prep ensures your flatbread releases cleanly after baking and adds a subtle richness to the bottom crust.
05 -
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin rectangle, roughly 9x12 inches. Bake at 350°F for 28–30 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is fully set. Your High Protein 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread should feel firm to the touch.
06 -
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The residual heat will melt the Parmesan beautifully into the surface.
07 -
For the best High Protein 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread results, let it rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the structure to firm up completely, making it easier to cut into clean pieces without crumbling or tearing.
08 -
Dollop 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt over the flatbread, then finish with 1 tbsp fresh chives, 1/2 tsp everything bagel seasoning, 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, protein-packed flatbread while warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Storage Tip: Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes to restore its crispy edges — avoid microwaving, as it can make the texture rubbery.
02 -
Substitution Tip: For a dairy-free version, swap the full-fat cottage cheese with a plant-based cottage cheese alternative and use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) in place of each large egg. Note that texture may be slightly softer.
03 -
Cooking Tip: Make sure to blend the cottage cheese and eggs until completely smooth — any remaining curds will create an uneven bake. A high-speed blender works better than a food processor for achieving the silkiest batter possible.
04 -
Serving Tip: This flatbread works beautifully as a base for mini pizzas, sandwich wraps, or a simple appetizer board. Try topping it with smashed avocado, smoked salmon, or a drizzle of hot honey for a creative and satisfying high-protein snack.
