Cottage Cheese Flatbread - This high protein flatbread recipe works because cottage cheese acts as both the protein source and the moisture binder. When blended smooth, cottage cheese emulsifies into the flour and creates a tender dough without needing yeast or long resting time. After testing different ratios, I found that keeping the dough slightly thick—but still spreadable—creates a flatbread that cooks evenly without drying out or becoming rubbery. Cooking it in a hot skillet allows the exterior to set quickly while the inside stays soft, which is key for an easy protein lunch idea that still feels satisfying. This recipe also fits 2 ingredient flatbread searches because it relies on simple structure rather than complexity. It aligns with my approach of focusing on technique over extra ingredients: blend until smooth, cook over steady heat, and flip once you see bubbles and set edges. The result is a meal prep flatbread that holds fillings well, reheats cleanly, and makes high-protein eating feel approachable rather than restrictive.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the flatbread warm so it stays flexible and easy to fold. Use it as a wrap with roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or eggs for a balanced meal, or cut into wedges and serve with hummus or yogurt dip. For a simple presentation, stack the flatbreads and brush lightly with olive oil and herbs. This flatbread also works well as a base for quick flatbread pizzas—add toppings and return briefly to the skillet or oven until heated through.

How to Store?

Store cooked flatbreads in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side to restore softness and light browning. Flatbreads can also be frozen with parchment between layers for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature and warm before serving. For meal prep flatbread use, cook a batch at the start of the week and pair with different fillings each day.
