Step 1: Prepare the Cheese
If the cottage cheese contains a lot of liquid, drain it well using a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
- Cottage cheese
- Eggs
- Mozzarella
- Parmesan
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Baking powder (if using)
- Salt, pepper, and herbs
Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Step 3: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter or olive oil.
Step 4: Shape the Flatbreads
Scoop about ⅓ cup of the mixture into the pan. Gently flatten it into a circle about ¼ inch thick using the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Cook Slowly
Cook for 4–5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and set.
Step 6: Flip Carefully
Use a wide spatula to carefully flip the flatbread.
Cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Step 7: Repeat
Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly between batches if needed.

⚠️ A Note About the “Zero Carbs” Claim
Although social media often labels recipes like this as “zero carbs,” that’s not strictly accurate. Cottage cheese and Parmesan naturally contain small amounts of carbohydrates, so the recipe is very low in carbs, but not truly zero-carb. It’s still an excellent option for many low-carb or keto-style eating plans. Enjoy! 🧀🍽️
