Ingredients

• Cottage cheese: Provides protein, creaminess, and a slight tang to lift the flatbread.
• Eggs: Act as a binder and add rich protein, moisture, and a subtle hearty flavor.
• Salt: Enhances overall flavor by balancing dish elements without overpowering natural tastes.
• Black pepper: Adds a warming spice and depth that elevates simple ingredients effortlessly.
• Garlic powder: Offers a punch of savory flavor and aroma that brightens the recipe.
• Dried oregano: Brings a herby earthy touch that balances tang and spices in every bite.
• Overall: These ingredients mix to create a flatbread that is both nourishing and full of character.

Ingredient Quantities

• 1 cup cottage cheese (choose low-fat or full fat, whichever you prefer)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional, but really boosts the flavor)
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano (optional for an herby kick)

How to Make this

1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the eggs until mostly smooth (it’s ok if there are a few lumps).

3. Add 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp dried oregano to the bowl.

4. Stir all the ingredients together well so that the spices are evenly mixed in.

5. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking tray and spread it out into a flat circle, like a large pancake shape.

6. Place the tray in the oven and bake for around 12-15 minutes until the edges start to turn golden.

7. Check if it’s done by looking for a set texture in the middle; if its still a bit wet, give it a couple more minutes.

8. Once baked, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting.

9. Cut it into your desired shape – you can make squares or strips depending on how you want to use it.

10. Enjoy it as a sandwich wrap, pizza base, or just a yummy high-protein, low-carb snack.

FAQ

Cottage Cheese Flatbread (Viral TikTok Recipe) Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have cottage cheese, try using Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese for a similar creamy texture.
• Not a fan of eggs? You can substitute each egg with 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, let it sit for a few minutes so it thickens.
• If you’re out of salt, a pinch of sea salt works just fine though you might need to adjust the amount to taste.
• No black pepper? White pepper can be used as a substitute if you want that mild spice.
• Running low on garlic powder or dried oregano? A bit of onion powder or Italian seasoning can give an herby, savory twist to the recipe.

Pro Tips

1. If you’re using low-fat cottage cheese its a good idea to add just a little extra garlic powder or oregano to really boost the flavor since low-fat versions might feel a bit bland.
2. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes after stirring so the flavors can blend in; this step might seem extra, but its really worth it.
3. Ovens are never exactly the same so keep an eye on the dish especially near the end of the baking time to avoid over-browning or undercooking.
4. For a crisper finish if you plan on using it as a wrap or a pizza base, try popping it into a toaster oven for a couple of minutes after the main bake.
