Essential Kitchen Equipment
Blender or Food Processor: Needed to blend the cottage cheese until 100% smooth for a uniform, bread-like texture.
Large Sheet Pan & Parchment Paper: Essential for baking the batter thinly without sticking.
Ingredients
1 cup Whole milk or low-fat cottage cheese (drained slightly)
2 large Eggs
1/2 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (or parmesan)
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning or dried oregano
1/4 tsp Salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Oven & Sheet Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with high-quality parchment paper (or spray parchment lightly with non-stick oil).
2. Blend Smooth Batter: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and liquid.
3. Fold in Cheese & Spread: Pour the smooth mixture into a bowl and fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese. Pour the batter onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin, round flatbread shape (or spread into two smaller round flatbreads).
4. Bake to Golden: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are golden brown, the center is completely set, and the flatbread lifts easily off the parchment paper.
5. Pan-Sear Finish (Optional Crisp Step): For an extra golden naan-style char, brushed both sides with a touch of garlic butter and sear in a dry hot skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly browned!
6. Slice & Enjoy: Slice into rounds or triangles and serve warm as a sandwich wrap or bread side!
Chef’s Tips
Use High-Quality Parchment Paper: Cottage cheese batter can stick if using cheap parchment! Using silicone-coated parchment or lightly spraying it guarantees a flawless release every time.
Let It Cool Slightly: Giving the flatbread 3 to 5 minutes to cool on the pan after baking helps set the proteins so it becomes soft, pliable, and easy to roll or fold.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does this flatbread taste like cottage cheese?
Not at all! Blending the cottage cheese removes the curds, and baking it with eggs and garlic transforms it into a savory, soft bread texture with a mild, cheesy flavor similar to garlic naan!
