PROTEIN POWER: I aim to get a baseline of 30 grams of protein at each meal. Protein helps to increase satiety by keeping your blood sugar balanced and your appetite in check. It’s also the best way to support building and maintaining strong muscles!

To hit your 30 grams, fill your flatbread with ground turkey, sliced or shredded chicken, or my high-protein tuna salad. There are so many delicious options!

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!

Bowl of cottage cheese near 2 eggs and small bowls of garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

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: Or use egg whites for even more protein and less fat. If you’re substituting egg whites for 2 whole eggs in this recipe, you’ll need 4 egg whites or 1/2 cup carton egg whites.
Seasonings: Feel free to add any seasonings you like best, but keep it at 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 line a 9×13-inch baking sheet (aka a quarter sheet pan) with parchment paper. Grease the baking sheet very well to prevent sticking.

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

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?).

Helpful tips

What cottage cheese to use: Look for the brand Good Culture! I think it’s the most delicious brand of cottage cheese on the market.
Be sure to use parchment paper: It’s very important to use parchment paper on the pan, and it’s also a good idea to spray it with nonstick spray or grease it to prevent it from sticking. I love buying pre-cut parchment paper – it makes life so easy!)
Cool completely: Allow the flatbread to cool completely before removing it from the parchment paper.

Storage recommendations

Cool: Allow the flatbread to cool completely at room temperature before storing.
Wrap: Wrap the flatbread in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Alternatively, you can place it in an airtight storage container with a layer of parchment paper between each slice.
Refrigerate: Store the wrapped flatbread in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
