This low-carb flatbread is one of those recipes I make when I want something warm, filling, and flexible without overthinking it.
It’s made with cottage cheese, almond flour, and eggs, comes together in one bowl, and bakes quickly. No yeast. No rising time. No special techniques.
It’s not traditional bread, but it gives you structure for meals, which is often what’s missing when eating lower carb.
Why You’ll Love This Low-Carb Cottage Cheese
This is the kind of recipe that fits real life.
It’s:
- warm and comforting
- high in protein and naturally low carb
- easy to make with simple ingredients
- sturdy enough for sandwiches
- soft inside with lightly crisp edges
If you’re eating low carb and miss having something bread-like with eggs, cheese, or savory toppings, this one works.
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
That’s it. One bowl, basic ingredients.
How to Make Low-Carb Flatbread
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the batter
In a bowl, combine the almond flour, cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and baking powder. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Scoop and shape
Using a spoon, scoop about 12 portions onto the baking sheet. Gently spread each scoop into a small round flatbread.
Bake
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until set and lightly golden on the edges.
Cool slightly
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. They firm up as they cool.
Tips for Best Results
- For crispier flatbreads, bake a few minutes longer
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for better texture and flavor
- Don’t make them too thin or they will dry out
- Let them cool slightly before removing from the pan
How to Make Bigger Flatbreads
If you want sandwich-size flatbreads instead of small ones:
- Make 6 larger flatbreads instead of 12
- Spread the batter slightly thicker
- Bake 2 to 4 minutes longer
These work very well for wraps and folded sandwiches.
Substitutions & Variations
- You can blend the cottage cheese for a smoother texture
- Add dried herbs or garlic powder for a savory version
- Sprinkle sesame seeds or seeds on top before baking
- Use it as a pizza-style base with cheese and toppings
This recipe is forgiving.
What to Serve With This Flatbread
- Spinach And Feta Omelette
- Classic Egg Salad

It’s meant to support meals, not overpower them.
