Step 1 – Preheat & Prepare

Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Skillet option: Lightly grease a non-stick pan and heat over medium.

Step 2 – Combine Ingredients

Blend the cottage cheese until smooth. Add the egg and mozzarella cheese, then mix until thick and fully combined.

Step 3 – Shape the Flatbread

Spread the mixture into a thin circle or rectangle (about ¼-inch / 0.6 cm thick) on the prepared parchment or directly in the pan.

Step 4 – Cook or Bake

Oven: Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and set.

Skillet: Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly crispy and cooked through.

Step 5 – Cool & Serve

Let it cool for about 2 minutes, then slice and enjoy. Great for wraps, sandwiches, or even as a pizza base.

Tips for Success

Spread the batter thin for the best texture

Cook a little longer if you want extra crispiness

Add garlic or herbs for more flavor

Let it cool slightly before slicing so it holds together well

Variations

Top with extra cheese before baking for a crispier, cheesy finish

Mix in Italian herbs, chili flakes, or oregano for more flavor

Slice into strips for a “breadstick-style” snack
