Soft Cottage Flatbread

Say goodbye to your hunt for the ideal carb-free bread stand-in with this clever cottage cheese flatbread using just 2 ingredients. By mixing simple cottage cheese and eggs, you'll get a protein-loaded foundation that works for breakfast toast or pizza bases.

I couldn't believe this recipe would actually work when I first tried it. But after making it tons of times with different tweaks, it's now something I can't do without. My kids go crazy for it as pizza crust, and friends never guess what's in it until I tell them.

Collecting Your Supplies

• Full-fat cottage cheese: gives you the right creaminess and taste - don't go for the light stuff
• Fresh eggs: they hold everything together and help it rise - use them straight from the counter
• Garlic powder: brings a nice flavor kick without being too much
• Onion powder: helps it smell just like real bread
• Sea salt: pulls all the tastes together
• Italian herbs: turn your basic flatbread into something you'd pay for

Making Your Flatbread Dream

Get Set Up:

Put your oven rack right in the middle and heat it up good to 350°F. Cover your quarter sheet pan with parchment paper, making sure to get the sides too.

Mix It Right:

Throw the cottage cheese and eggs into your blender with whatever seasonings you picked. Blend until you can't see any lumps at all and everything looks smooth.

Spread It Out:

Pour your mixture onto the lined pan and use a spatula to push it all the way to the edges. This helps it cook the same all over.

I've tried so many different low-carb bread options but this one wins for being so easy and never failing me. All that protein keeps hunger away for hours, and I can change it up so many ways.

Tasty Topping Ideas

Make your flatbread extra fancy by adding smoked salmon with cream cheese on top, or go for a Mediterranean feel with olives and crumbled feta cheese.

Switch It Up

Try mixing in rosemary and thyme for bread that tastes like fancy focaccia, or sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning on top for a breakfast twist.

Keeping It Fresh

This flatbread tastes best straight from the oven when it's still warm. If you have extras, keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two days and warm them up in your toaster oven.

Since adding this to my weekly cooking plan, I've realized it's more than just a low-carb substitute - it's a tasty, protein-packed bread that's good in its own right. Whether you're cutting carbs or just want more protein in your day, this flatbread hits the spot and keeps you feeling good.
