Have you tried the viral TikTok Cottage Cheese Flatbread? I know it sounds strange, but it’s surprisingly delicious and easy to make (it gets a thumbs-up from this health and weight-loss coach!). The best part? This clever flatbread recipe is packed with protein and has just two key ingredients: cottage cheese and eggs (or egg whites).

As we know, cottage cheese is a protein powerhouse that can help create high-protein alternatives to traditional recipes, like protein pancakes and high-protein bagels. And I was pleasantly surprised to learn that cottage cheese could also be used to make these pliable, high-protein wraps!

You can fill them with whatever you’re craving or have available. My go-to wrap, pictured above, is made with tzatziki, arugula, shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. The full recipe with ingredient measurements is in the notes section of the recipe card below.

PROTEIN POWER: I aim to consume 30 grams of protein at each meal, and it’s easy to do with these wraps! Simply layer in some tuna salad or my shortcut rotisserie chicken salad and enjoy – it really can be just that easy.

Ingredients you’ll need

This cottage cheese flatbread recipe is as simple as it gets, with just two main ingredients. You can add any seasonings that you like!

• Cottage cheese: I like to use low-fat cottage cheese, but you can use any variety that you prefer. Good Culture is definitely my favorite brand – so creamy!
• Eggs: I tested this recipe using whole eggs and egg whites; they both make delicious wraps. If you’re substituting egg whites for whole eggs in this recipe, you’ll need 4 egg whites or 1/2 cup of carton egg whites.
• Seasonings: Feel free to add any seasonings you like, but keep it to about 1/2 tsp total. I really like to mix in garlic powder and Italian seasoning for extra flavor. A sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning is also delicious.

How to make a cottage cheese flatbread with egg

Start this recipe by preheating the oven to 350°F (180°C) and lining a 9×13-inch baking sheet (aka a quarter sheet pan) with parchment paper. I love buying pre-cut parchment paper – it makes life so easy!) Grease the baking sheet very well to prevent sticking.

Then add cottage cheese, eggs, and seasonings of choice to a blender or food processor (I prefer a mini food processor, but as always, use what you have!).

Process the egg and cottage cheese mixture until smooth. 

Pour the cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly.

Bake cottage cheese flatbread in a hot oven for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned and set through.

Cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice in half, then add your favorite sandwich toppings. To make my go-to wrap, spread a couple of tablespoons of tzatziki over ⅓ of the flatbread. Top with arugula, shredded chicken, halved baby tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion (I mean, c’mon! How good does this look?).

Roll into a burrito, slice in half, and enjoy!
