Can I make cottage cheese garlic flatbread without eggs?

Yes, you can. The egg helps bind the ingredients, but if you’re avoiding eggs, try using a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water) or even a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt. These swaps may slightly change the texture, but the flatbread still holds together well.

How do I keep my cottage cheese garlic flatbread from sticking to the pan?

Always use parchment paper or a well-greased baking sheet. The cheese in the dough can cause sticking if the surface isn’t properly prepared. Parchment paper gives the best results, and it makes cleanup easier too.

Is this cottage cheese garlic flatbread keto-friendly?

Absolutely! It’s naturally low in carbohydrates and high in protein, making it a great option for low-carb and keto diets. Each flatbread has about 2–4 grams of carbs, depending on the cheese brands used.

Can I freeze cottage cheese garlic flatbread?

Yes, it freezes beautifully. Once it cools, wrap it tightly in foil or store it in a zip-top freezer bag. Reheat at 350°F for 5–6 minutes, and it tastes just as fresh as when you made it.
