Ingredients You Will Need For Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Here’s a quick overview of the key ingredients for this recipe. For the full list of ingredients and exact measurements, be sure to check the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Eggs: Room-temperature whole eggs blend more smoothly, so let them sit out for a few minutes before using.
- Cottage Cheese: Any type works, but full fat cottage cheese gives the richest flavor and texture. If using low-fat or fat-free, you might get a slightly lighter result.
- Garlic Powder: Adds a subtle savory depth. If you love a stronger garlic flavor, use a small amount of fresh minced garlic instead!
- Italian Seasoning: A blend of dried herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme enhances the flavor.
Variations and Substitutions
- Switch up the seasoning: Italian seasoning adds great flavor, but you can easily swap in other spices. Try taco seasoning for a Tex-Mex twist, or add some red pepper flakes for a little heat. Onion powder, everything bagel seasoning, fresh herbs, or cajun seasoning would also be delicious!
- Use egg whites: If you want to lighten up this flatbread, you can swap the eggs for egg whites instead!
- Go for a crispy texture: If you like a crispier flatbread, bake it a little longer or pop it under the broiler for the last couple of minutes.
- Make it cheesy: Sprinkle some shredded Parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese on top before baking for an extra cheesy, golden crust.
- Size: For a pizza base, you may want to use a smaller pan so the mixture is thicker. On the other hand, a sandwich wrap will need a larger pan so it spreads out more.

In this cottage cheese flatbread, it works perfectly because it blends into a smooth batter, adding moisture and richness while keeping the bread light and fluffy. It’s a great way to sneak in extra protein, especially with recipes like Protein Packed Creamy Cottage Cheese Queso!
