How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth—about 20–30 seconds.
Pro tip: Scrape down the sides once or twice to ensure everything is fully mixed.
Step 2: Prep Your Pan
Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with non-stick spray.
Step 3: Pour & Spread
Spread the processed mixture onto the pan, shaping it evenly with a spatula. Aim for about ¼ inch thick. The thinner it is, the crisper it will bake.
Step 4: Season & Bake
Sprinkle with a little oregano or your favorite herbs and place in the preheated oven at 350°F (176°C).
Bake for 30–35 minutes, depending on how thin you’ve spread it. For thicker flatbread (in a smaller pan), bake up to 50 minutes until edges are browned and top is firm to the touch.
Step 5: Cool & Slice
Let it cool completely on the tray before slicing. The cooling process helps it set and improves the texture.
