Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (4% milkfat — low-fat will not work)
- 2 piece large eggs
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional, for crust)
- 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning (optional topping)
- 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt (to finish)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment — not foil, not a silicone mat. Parchment is the only way it releases.
This is the #1 failure point online. Parchment is non-negotiable.
- 2
Blend cottage cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor until completely smooth and silky, 60 seconds. No curds should remain.
Smooth batter = chewy bread. Chunky batter = scrambled eggs on a tray.
- 3
Pour the batter onto the parchment and spread into an even rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with Parmesan and everything seasoning.
- 4
Bake 30-35 minutes until deep golden brown at the edges and firm to the touch in the center. Don't pull early — underdone flatbread is rubbery.
- 5
Cool 5 minutes on the pan, then peel off the parchment. Finish with flaky sea salt. Cut, roll, or fold.
For maximum crisp, flip and broil 60 seconds on the second side.

Tips
- •4% full-fat cottage cheese only. Low-fat versions release too much water.
- •Use it as a wrap, pizza base, or tear it into pieces for dipping.
- •Blending truly matters — a fork-mash makes scrambled eggs, not bread.
Substitutions
- cottage cheese → whole milk ricotta (similar, slightly less chew)
- Italian seasoning → za'atar or taco seasoning
- Parmesan → any hard aged cheese
Leftovers
Wrap in foil and refrigerate up to 2 days. Re-crisp in a dry skillet or toaster oven.
