Prepare to witness some kitchen magic with a recipe that defies expectations! This is the viral flatbread you’ve been hearing about, a revolutionary way to create a savory, flexible bread using cottage cheese as the star—no flour required. Imagine a golden, tender wrap, packed with protein and brushed with an aromatic garlic-herb topping. It’s the perfect high-protein, low-carb, and gluten-free solution for wraps, sandwiches, or simply tearing and dipping.
Prep Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Servings: 4-6 pieces
Ingredients:
For the Flourless Flatbread:
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried oregano and basil)
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
For the Garlic Herb Topping:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large clove garlic, finely minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven & Prep Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard quarter or half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper. Do not skip the parchment paper, as the batter will stick.
- Blend the Batter: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and liquid, with absolutely no lumps remaining.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the liquid batter onto the center of your prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a spatula, carefully spread the batter into a thin, even rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The flatbread is done when the edges are golden brown and the center is set and no longer wet to the touch.
- Prepare the Topping: While the flatbread bakes, stir together the olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
- Garnish and Serve: Carefully lift the parchment paper to remove the flatbread from the hot pan. Let it cool for a minute. While still warm, brush the entire surface with the garlic herb oil and finish with a generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
- Enjoy: Cut into squares or strips with a pizza cutter or knife. Serve immediately as a side, use as a base for a pizza, or let it cool completely to use as a flexible wrap for sandwiches.
Recipe Notes:
- Smoothness is Everything: The key to this recipe’s success is blending the cottage cheese and egg mixture until it is perfectly silky smooth. Any remaining curds will create an uneven texture.
- Parchment Paper is Essential: This batter is wet and will fuse to an unlined pan. Parchment paper ensures you can lift the finished flatbread off easily without any tearing.
- Texture Expectation: Please note that this creates a flexible, savory, egg-based wrap (similar to a firm crepe), not a traditional fluffy or chewy bread. It’s wonderfully delicious but has its own unique texture.
- Flavor Add-Ins: You can blend other ingredients into the batter for more flavor! Try adding a handful of fresh spinach, a tablespoon of sun-dried tomato paste, or some grated Parmesan cheese.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best to place sheets of parchment paper between the layers to prevent sticking. It can be enjoyed cold as a wrap or gently reheated in a skillet.
There you have it—a truly magical, high-protein bread made without a speck of flour! This versatile and delicious cottage cheese flatbread is a game-changer for anyone looking for healthy, low-carb alternatives. We hope you are as amazed by this simple recipe as we are. Happy cooking!
