Zero-Carb Savory Cheese Flatbread

Prep time: 10 minutes

Baking time: 20–25 minutes

Servings: 4–6 slices

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Eggs

  • 1 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (Small curd works best)

  • 1 ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Divided)

  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder

  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (Dried oregano, basil, and thyme)

  • A pinch of Salt

Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a medium bowl, whisk the two eggs thoroughly. Add the cottage cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella (¾ cup). Stir in the garlic powder and salt until well combined.

  2. Blend for Smoothness (Optional): If you prefer a more uniform, bread-like texture without the visible curds of cottage cheese, you can pulse the mixture in a blender for 30 seconds until smooth.

  3. Spread the Batter: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this is crucial to prevent sticking). Pour the mixture onto the center of the tray and use a spatula to spread it into a rectangular or circular shape, about ½ inch thick.

  4. The First Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 15–20 minutes. The edges should start to turn golden brown and the center should be firm to the touch.

  5. Add Toppings: Remove the tray from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup of shredded mozzarella and the Italian seasoning evenly over the top.

  6. The Final Melt: Return the flatbread to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and begins to brown slightly.

  7. Slice and Serve: Let it cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing into strips or squares. This allows the base to set firmly so you can pick up the slices easily.

Chef’s Tip

For a “crispy crust” feel, you can sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on the parchment paper before pouring the batter. This creates a savory, golden crust on the bottom of your flatbread!
