My cooking is all about experimentation—finding out what works and developing my own recipes. This is why I love playing around with flatbreads made from cottage cheese, a staple ingredient I use in my kitchen.
In 22 recipes for it, I’ve got something for every palate. I start with the classic flatbreads, like the Garlic and Herb or Mediterranean versions.
These are the ones that really show off the wonderful ingredients that make up all of my flatbreads, like the simple but powerful combination of garlic and olive oil or the use of feta cheese that takes my Mediterranean version over the top. I might make these kind of flatbreads if I wanted something more akin to a support act in a meal, something that wouldn’t take center stage but would accompany a wide variety of flavors.
The next batch of flatbreads, however, features flavor bomb ingredients that promise something different.
The 22 Best Cottage Cheese Flatbread
1. Classic Cottage Cheese Flatbread
I take pleasure in preparing Classic Cottage Cheese Flatbread, a straightforward recipe that calls for all-purpose flour, luscious cottage cheese, and olive oil. With or without the optional fresh herbs, it’s a flatbread that’s good any time of day.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup water (as needed)
- Optional: fresh herbs like chives or dill for garnish
Instructions
1. In a big bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the cottage cheese and olive oil, mixing until the dough starts to form.
2. Slowly add water, in small amounts, mixing until you have a smooth, elastic dough. If using fresh herbs, fold them into the dough now.
3. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a thin circle.
4. Warm a skillet over medium heat, and place each flatbread into the pan. Allow them to cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they have developed a golden brown color and are cooked through. Serve them warm with whatever garnishes strike your fancy.
2. Garlic Herb Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Garlic Herb Cottage Cheese Flatbread combines creamy cottage cheese with all-purpose flour, baking powder, and olive oil; the result is an herbed deliciousness that is further upped by the presence of minced garlic and either fresh parsley or fresh basil.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, or thyme)
Instructions
1. Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to preheat, and put a baking sheet inside it to come up to temperature.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Knead the mixture until it results in a smooth dough.
3. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to the thickness you desire. The top should be brushed with olive oil, and then minced garlic and chopped herbs sprinkled over it.
4. Place the rolled dough on the baking sheet that is now preheated, and then bake for 12-15 minutes, or go by sight and smell—the flatbread should be brown enough around the edges and puffing enough in the middle to have a nice, subtle, bread-like aroma.
3. Mediterranean Cottage Cheese Flatbread
My favorite Mediterranean Cottage Cheese Flatbread is the perfect savory combination of cottage cheese, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives on a remarkably flavorful base. Not only is it remedial, if you’re feeling somewhat peckish, but it is also quite addictive; I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Is it a dip? Is it more of an appetizer?
Does it already count as a part of the main meal? Whatever it is, it’s delicious.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Instructions
1. Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a big bowl, put together the flour and salt. Now, add the cottage cheese and the olive oil, mixing it all up until you get a nice, smooth ball of dough.
2. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to the thickness you desire. When rolling, use even pressure and do not flatten the dough out in the center. You want a lovely, round shape and a finished product that is evenly baked.
3. Distribute the cherry tomatoes and sliced olives evenly on top of the flatbread dough, then add a sprinkle of dried oregano.
4. Preheat the oven; bake for 15-20 minutes. When you pull the pan from the oven, the edges should be golden brown, the toppings should be roasted, and the pan should be bubbling slightly. Let cool for about 10 minutes, slice, and serve.
4. Spicy Cottage Cheese Flatbread
I adore how kicking Flatbread with Spicy Cottage Cheese blends together the creamy, coolness of cottage cheese with the heat from red chili flakes, complemented by the aromatic essence of cumin and just enough brightness from cilantro to keep things interesting. It’s a simple dish, yet as memorably flavorful as anything I know.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Salt to taste
Instructions
1. In a big mixing bowl, blend together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, red chili flakes, cumin seeds, salt, and minced fresh cilantro.
2. Incorporate the cottage cheese with the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. If required, add a little water to achieve the ideal consistency.
3. Form the dough into equal parts and roll them into balls. Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a disc, being sure to keep the thickness uniform throughout.
4. Each flatbread should be cooked on a heated skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown spots form. Serve hot.
5. Spinach Cottage Cheese Flatbread
I enjoy preparing Spinach Cottage Cheese Flatbread, a wonderful mixture of all-purpose flour, chopped spinach, and crumbled cottage cheese. With a touch of olive oil, this flatbread is a nutritious and savory delight.

- 1/4 cup spinach, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
1. In a bowl for mixing, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. While mixing, slowly add water to form a soft dough.
2. Mix the dough until it reaches a smooth consistency. Drape a damp cloth over the mixture and allow it to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes.
3. Split the dough that has rested into small pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Roll each ball into a flat disc. Across the surface of each disc, spread a mixture of finely chopped spinach and crumbled cottage cheese.
4. Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each flatbread 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve warm.

3. Distribute evenly the crumbled cottage cheese and sautéed mushrooms over each flatbread. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the flatbreads are crisp and the cheese is just starting to turn golden.
4. Take from the oven, decorate with freshly chopped parsley, cut into portions, and present warm.

Fresh rosemary (1 teaspoon, chopped)
Olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions
1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) unlike any other oven, let the oven do its thing. While you’re doing the thing the oven does, take a baking sheet and place the flatbreads on the sheet. Then, with whatever method you prefer, apply a light coating of pleasantly fragrant olive oil to the flatbreads.
2. Evenly distribute cottage cheese over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Place the quartered figs atop the cottage cheese. Honey drizzling and chopped rosemary sprinkling occur next.
