I’ve been seeing all these viral cottage cheese flatbread recipes going around and had to try it. I was surprised at how good they were and thought they would make a delicious low carb sandwich. And so I wanted share with this keto cottage cheese flatbread with you today.

Sometimes I miss having a sandwich while on a low carb diet. And while low carb bread has come a long way it always tastes so dry to me. These cottage cheese flatbread wraps have a lot of flavor and taste so much better to me. They make the perfect base for low carb sandwiches and they are easy to make

It only takes just about 5 minutes to prepare the batter. You can play around with the flavors by adding different spices and ingredients (see below). I have a few ideas for other flavors below. This flatbread has just 5.1g net carbs and 27.5 grams of protein so it’s great for a light but high protein meal.

Cottage cheese is a great ingredient to use in recipes like this because of its high protein content and versatility. I have a wide range of cottage cheese recipes such as garlic breadsticks, ice cream, veggie dip and even alfredo sauce.

Recipe ingredients I used and substitutions.

The simple ingredients I used for this recipe are eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Asiago cheese and Italian seasoning.

• Cottage Cheese – Today I used Daisy cottage cheese but I also really like Good Culture brand. You can use any brand and if you care about carbs try to make it full-fat cottage cheese. It doesn’t matter if it’s small curd or large curd. However all varieties will work. For those on a keto diet, I find Daisy to have the least amount of carbs and Good Culture is the second best.
• Eggs and Spices – I used regular large eggs and the spices were to give it flavoring. This is where you can play around with the flavor of the wrap. I think the garlic powder and onion powder are universal and can work with lots of flavors.
• Cheese – I used asiago cheese primary to for an extra burst of flavor as I love Asiago bagels. You can substitute with fresh parmesan if you have it or as a last case scenario you can use grated Parmesan cheese you find in a can. If you are lactose intolerant you can substitute nutritional yeast if you want.

TIP: If you want this flatbread to have less calories you can eliminate it altogether. Though I really like that cheesy flavor.

How to make cottage cheese flatbread.

Learn how to make cottage cheese flatbread in the oven or air fryer. It just takes about 5 minutes to put together and then bake it however you want.

Step 1: Preheat oven at 350°F. Get out the smallest baking sheet you can find. I had a quarter size cookie sheet. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper and then spray the paper with cooking spray.

Step 2: Add a half cup of cottage cheese, egg, and spices to the food processor, high powered blender or immersion blender. Normally I don’t like immersion blenders but they will work fine. Blend until all the lumps are out and it has a creamy texture. It will be thin in consistency but don’t worry it will work.

Note if you choose not to use the asiago cheese you might want to sprinkle some salt and black pepper. Asiago and parmesan cheese can be salty so that is why I didn’t add extra salt.

Step 3: Get the prepared baking sheet and pour the blended cottage cheese mixture on to it. Tilt the tray so it covers the sheet or it’s all uniform in thickness. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 4: While that’s baking grate the Asiago cheese. When the 20 minutes are up, take it out of the oven and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Then place back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or so until the top and edges are golden brown.

Take it out of the oven and let cool completely before handling.

You can use this as a flatbread or wrap along with your choice of favorite sandwich toppings. I chose to make a tasty sandwich with this as a base and I used my favorite toppings which were turkey slices, red onion, baby spinach, thin sliced pepper and a garlic aioli. It was delicious!

This recipe only make 1 large sandwich wrap but you could cut it in half and make 2 smaller sandwiches. If you make more than one you want to place in an airtight container with wax paper between pieces so they don’t stick together and refrigerate.

You can use this to make a cottage cheese flatbread pizza crust. Add some pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese and place it under the broiler until the cheese has melted.

To make cottage cheese flatbread in the air fryer.

Personally I like it better when it’s made in the oven but here is how you can make it in the air fryer.

Make the batter as you would for the oven. Place a piece of parchment paper in the air fryer and spray well with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the batter onto the parchment paper and smooth out to make a square or rectangle. Bake at 320°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Take out and let cool completely before eating.

Different ingredients to add to change up the flavor of the wraps.

I used the spices and asiago cheese to give a bit of an Italian flavor but you could experiment with seasonings and other ingredients.

• Try adding some fresh baby spinach for a spinach wrap which has added nutritional and color. Add it to the food processor when you make the batter.
• Diced sun dried tomatoes would be very tasty along with fresh garlic and oregano or basil for an Italian flavored flatbread.
• Other spices like curry blends, herbs de Provence spice blend, thyme, oregano, hot pepper flakes, etc. would all add flavor to the flatbread. Everything bagel seasoning is one of my favorites and makes everything taste better IMO.
• Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, cilantro or chives would be great in this recipe.
• You can also try other shredded cheese on top like gruyere, gouda, fresh parmesan, sharp cheddar cheese, etc.
