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 blog post for a keto cottage cheese flatbread with you today.
Sometimes I miss having a sandwich while on a low carb diet. I like to fill them with turkey and fresh veggies for a filling lunch or light dinner. However low carb bread while it has come a long way always tastes so dry to me. These wraps have a lot of flavor and taste so much better to me. They make the perfect base for low carb sandwiches.
Plus I like that they are easy to make. They do take a bit of time to bake in the oven but it takes just about 5 minutes to prepare the batter. I also like that you can play around with the flavors by adding different spices and ingredients. I have a few ideas for other flavors below. And while they don’t taste like regular flatbread, 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.
Table of Contents
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 is a great ingredient to use in recipes like this because of it’s high protein content and versatility. I have many cottage cheese recipes with everything from ice cream to veggie dip and alfredo sauce.
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 and universal and can work with lots of flavors.
Asiago Cheese
I used this 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 want this flatbread to have less calories you can eliminate it altogether. Though I really like that cheesy flavor.
How to make keto cottage cheese flatbread.
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 this 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 the flatbread to change up the flavor.
I used the spices and asiago cheese to give a bit of an Italian flavor but you could experiment with seasonings and other ingredients. For instance, try adding some fresh garlic to the mix or add items like spinach for a spinach wrap.
Sun dried tomatoes would be very tasty as would other spices like curry blends, herbs de Provence spice blend, thyme, oregano, hot pepper flakes, etc. Next time I want to use a pinch of hot pepper flakes and the everything bagel seasoning as I swear that stuff adds extra flavor to everything.
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.
Low carb sandwich fixings to use in this flatbread or wrap.
