Cottage Cheese Flatbread — 5 Min, No Flour
About this recipe
This Cottage Cheese Flatbread is a quick and easy alternative to traditional bread, made without any flour. With just a few ingredients, including cottage cheese, eggs, and mozzarella, it comes together in about 25 minutes, making it perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner.
What sets this recipe apart is its high protein content and the addition of two delicious homemade dips: a creamy avocado dip and a smooth cream cheese dip. These dips not only enhance the flavor but also add healthy fats and nutrients to your meal.
Ingredient notes
- You can substitute farmer's cheese for cottage cheese if needed.
- Use low-salt mozzarella for both the dough and the topping to keep the dish healthier.
- Spinach is optional in the avocado dip; you can skip it if you prefer.

- Make sure to mix the cottage cheese and eggs thoroughly to create a smooth base for the flatbread.
