I know, I know – I’m late to the cottage cheese party but wait, this Cottage Cheese Flatbread is not your viral recipe mixing eggs and cottage cheese and calling it “bread”. This high-protein flatbread recipe even has some flour and a leavening agent, and still only requires 3 ingredients and 15 minutes to make a batch. Magic!

I was preparing Turkish eggs and I was going to make my Greek yogurt flatbread as a side but sadly someone pinched the last of my Instant Pot yogurt earlier on. But left was the not so popular cottage cheese and I thought I give it a whirl. And guess what? The flatbreads were fantastic. Fluffy, chewy and I might have even seen a tiny cheese pull! They better bring me some likes on social!

In the end, the cheesy flatbreads made a delicious addition to the Turkish eggs and mopped up the harissa yogurt sauce and egg yolks perfectly. Plus they added extra protein to an already high-protein dish. Even better!

Apart from eggs and sauces, I’m planning on making the cottage cheese flatbreads as a side for soups and stews and turning them into a wrapper for lamb kebabs and other grilled meat fillings. I might even try to fill them, so watch this space!

Ingredients and substitutions

Ingredients laid out to make flatbreads.

Cottage cheese – I use full-fat cottage cheese. I assume it would work with a lighter version as well but I haven’t tried it yet.
Flour – Self-raising flour creates a nice fluffy texture. You can use all-purpose flour and add 2 tsp of baking powder instead.
Salt – I use pink salt but any sea salt or table salt will work well. Don’t skip it!

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, and salt with a large spoon.1 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup self-raising flour, 1/2 tsp salt
Once you have a shaggy dough, use your hand to fully combine the ingredients. It will look very dry initially but don't panic. You can also use a stand mixer or electric mixer with a dough attachment to further combine the dough.
You'll end up with a rather sticky dough. Divide it into 4 portions and lightly dust the bench with some extra flour. Cover the dough in flour and press it down to flatten it out evenly by hand.
Place the dough into a pre-heated non-stick pan on medium to low heat. Cook for 2 minutes on each side.
Remove it from the pan and place it onto a plate covered with a tea towel to keep the flatbreads warm. Repeat with the other 3 portions of dough. Serve while warm!

Tips

Adjust consistency: Depending on the consistency of the cottage cheese, the dough might be a little dry or wet. If it’s too dry, add 1 tbsp of milk at a time but knead it thoroughly in between. If it’s too wet, add 1 tbsp of flour at a time. Again, knead the dough thoroughly after each addition to ensure it doesn’t end up too dry and tough. The dough is certainly on a stickier and wet side.
Storage tips: The flatbreads can be stored up to 3 days in the refrigerator for in an airtight container. Simply reheat them in the microwave, toaster, or oven. I don’t recommend freezing.
