Craving homemade flatbread but want something low-carb, protein-packed, and ridiculously easy? What if you could make a soft, satisfying flatbread using just two ingredients? No flour, no yeast, no complicated steps.
Meet the internet-famous 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread—a simple, nutritious recipe that works whether you’re following a keto lifestyle, the Gina Livy program, or you just want an easy way to boost your daily protein intake.
This flatbread is budget-friendly, quick to prepare, and turns out moist, flexible, and sturdy enough for sandwiches. With 17 grams of protein per serving, it has become one of my go-to bases for high-protein lunches and quick snacks.
Why This Cottage Cheese Flatbread Works
Traditional bread can be time-consuming and ingredient-heavy. This recipe strips bread-making down to the basics—cottage cheese and eggs—and somehow still delivers amazing results.
- Cottage cheese adds moisture, structure, and a subtle tang while boosting protein
- Eggs bind everything together, creating a soft yet stable flatbread
When blended and baked, these two ingredients transform into a flatbread that’s light, flexible, and incredibly versatile. I love using it as a sandwich wrap or enjoying it plain as a snack.
Ingredients
All you need are:
- Cottage cheese (2% or full-fat works best, but low-fat can be used)
- Whole eggs
- Optional seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, herbs, etc.)

How to Make 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a quarter-size baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and any seasonings to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth. The batter should be runny, similar to thick pancake batter.
- Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly into a thin rectangle or circle, about ¼-inch thick.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the flatbread to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
- Slice in half, add fillings if desired, fold, and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Cottage Cheese Flatbread
- Let it cool completely before lifting it off the parchment paper to prevent tearing
- Use parchment + oil spray to avoid sticking
- Adjust batter consistency if needed:
- Too thick? Add 1 tablespoon of water or milk
- Too thin? Add a little more cottage cheese
- Spread evenly for uniform baking
- Don’t overbake—golden and set is perfect
Flavor Variations
This flatbread is delicious on its own, but it also works beautifully as a flavor canvas:
- Savory Herbs: Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, or Everything Bagel seasoning
- Cheesy: Add shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan
- Sweet: Mix in a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or add dried cranberries or raisins
- Crunchy: Sprinkle in seeds, nuts, or sesame seeds
Serving Ideas
This high-protein flatbread can be enjoyed in so many ways:
- Sandwich or wrap for lunch
- Pizza base with sauce and cheese
- Dip companion for soups, stews, or hummus
- Snack topped with avocado, smoked salmon, or tomatoes
It’s soft enough to fold but sturdy enough to hold fillings—no crumbling!
Storage
- Store in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator
- Keeps well for up to 5 days
- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave if desired
