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).

Cottage cheese is a protein powerhouse that can help create high-protein alternatives to traditional recipes, including protein pancakes, high-protein bagels, egg bakes, and creamy Alfredo sauce. Whip up this recipe, and you’ll have a pliable, high-protein cottage cheese wrap that packs in 20 grams of protein per serving and rolls up like any other wrap or tortilla. 

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 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!

• 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. I suggest you use egg whites for a flatbread with 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!).

Process the egg and cottage cheese mixture until smooth. 

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

Bake cottage cheese flatbread in a hot oven for 30-35 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!

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.
