Cottage Cheese Bread

How to make

This viral TikTok recipe is quick and easy with just the 2 main ingredients and some spices for flavor. Scroll down to the recipe card for full instructions and ingredient amounts.

All you need to do is throw the ingredients into a blender to make this ridiculously simple cottage cheese flatbread.

Pro tip: I like using full-fat cottage cheese in this recipe for the best taste and texture. You can also use 2% cottage cheese if you prefer, but avoid low fat cottage cheese for this recipe.

And, if your cottage cheese is liquidy, be sure to drain off the excess liquid by placing the cottage cheese in a fine mesh strainer. If the cottage cheese is too thin, the flatbread may be soggy and stick to the pan.

Then, pour it out onto a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet that’s been sprayed with oil or non-stick cooking spray, and bake it up.

Be sure to grease the parchment paper lined baking sheet very well with olive oil, cooking spray, or butter before pouring in the ingredients. And be sure to use parchment paper and not wax paper. Also, in all my testing of recipes, Reynold’s works best for any use.

After baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet where it’ll continue to firm up. Then slice it into servings. I like to slice it using a pizza cutter – makes quick work of slicing.

How to store

If you have any leftovers, place the completely cooled bread in an air tight container and in the fridge for up to 3 days.

For a longer storage, place it in a resealable freezer bag, and freeze for up to a month. To defrost, simply leave in the fridge overnight.

Can this be made ahead?

This bread is great for meal prep, and perfect to make ahead.

Store it in the fridge in a large ziptop bag, or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. If you have more than one sheet of flatbread, you’ll want to place parchment paper between the sheets so they don’t stick together.

It can be reheated in a pan over medium heat, pop it back in the oven for a few minutes, or reheat in the air fryer.

What is the texture like?

This light and airy bread has crispy crust edges with a slightly chewy interior. And it’s perfect for wrapping sandwiches.

What does it taste like?

The bread is nice and mild, which makes it perfect as a base for just about anything. It’s slightly cheesy and salty with a hint of garlic.

I have seen many people ask if it’s eggy, and I did not find it to be eggy at all. Just a nice light bread.

Does it taste like bread?

Well, no, it isn’t exactly like traditional bread. I would say that it’s a great bread alternative, but you aren’t going to fool anyone into thinking it’s bread.

Even carb loving husbands think it’s great. So, it passes the flavor and texture test.

Changes to the recipe

I like that this recipe is customizable too! Add as little or as much spice as you like to make it your own!

Swap the herbs spices up too. Try other dried herbs like basil, Italian seasoning, thyme, or everything but the bagel seasoning.

Try adding in some shredded cheddar cheese or Parmesan. This reminds me of my Garlic and Herb Cheese Sticks recipe.

Sprinkle in some crushed red pepper flakes or black pepper for a spicy kick. Or, add a squirt of Sriracha to the batter.

Play around with flavored cottage cheese as well. One with chives and garlic already added would be great. And, though I haven’t tried it, I bet that Pineapple Cottage Cheese would make a fun bread – maybe you could use it for a teriyaki chicken sandwich.

I do recommend not adding additional salt or the bread may be too salty, as cottage cheese tends to be a saltier cheese to begin with.
