Cottage Cheese Egg Flatbread
Cottage cheese egg flatbread made with 2% cottage cheese and psyllium husk for a sturdy, high-protein wrap. Simple ingredients, easy sheet pan method, nutrition facts, benefits, and serving ideas for healthy aging and longevity.
Cottage Cheese Egg Flatbread (2% + Psyllium Husk)
A simple, high protein flatbread that holds together and tastes way better than it should for only a few ingredients. This is one of my favorite “thrive beyond 60” staples because it is quick, filling, and super flexible for sweet or savory meals.
Why this version works with 2% cottage cheese
2% cottage cheese has more moisture than full fat, so it can bake up softer and crack more easily. Psyllium husk fixes that by soaking up extra moisture and creating a gentle “gel” that helps the flatbread bend and hold together without falling apart.
Recipe: 2% Cottage Cheese Egg Flatbread (with 2 tsp husk)
Ingredients
- 16 oz (about 450 g) 2% cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp psyllium husk powder
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 17 x 11 sheet pan with parchment paper.
- If your cottage cheese looks watery, strain it in a fine strainer for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Blend the cottage cheese and eggs until completely smooth.
- Add 2 tsp psyllium husk powder, blend again for a few seconds, then let the batter sit 3 to 5 minutes to thicken.
- Pour onto the parchment lined pan and spread evenly into a thin layer.
- Bake 35 to 45 minutes, until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool 10 to 15 minutes before slicing so it firms up and lifts cleanly.
How I portion it
Slice into 4 sections for easy grab and go servings.

Healthy benefits of the ingredients
Eggs
Eggs bring complete protein with leucine, which supports muscle maintenance as we age. They also provide choline, which supports brain health, and fat soluble nutrients that pair beautifully with healthy fats at meals.
2% Cottage cheese
Cottage cheese is a high protein, lower fat option that still delivers calcium and a slower digesting protein profile, which can help you stay satisfied longer. Great for building a protein base without needing heavy ingredients.
Psyllium husk powder
Psyllium is mostly soluble fiber. It helps this flatbread stay together, and it also supports digestion and regularity. Many people use it to support healthy cholesterol and steadier blood sugar response when paired with balanced meals.
How this fits healthy fats and proteins for longevity
Longevity eating is not about being perfect. It is about being consistent with the basics. Protein supports lean muscle, and muscle is a major driver of strength, balance, and independence as we age. Healthy fats support hormones, brain health, and nutrient absorption.
This flatbread gives you a strong protein foundation, then you can “build your plate” with healthy fats and colorful plants to flex your plant power.
Serving suggestions
Pick one protein topping plus one healthy fat, then add plants.
