If you've spent any time on TikTok recently, you've likely seen food enthusiasts whipping up creative recipes with an unexpected star ingredient - cottage cheese.

Once thought of primarily as a jacket potato topping, the lumpy cheese is now living its best life thanks to its high protein content and mild flavour, showing up in no-bake cheesecakes, protein pancakes, dips, doughs, and more. Popping up in many more recipes than I ever could have imagined, one in particular caught my eye.

Curious about a viral two-ingredient recipe using, of course, cottage cheese, I decided to try making the popular flatbread that's become a bread alternative among health-conscious users on social media.

I'll preface this by saying that I am not a natural in the kitchen. I make hearty meals to feed the family, whip up lunch boxes on demand and ensure that the cupboards are always full enough for snacking kids - other than that, I'm not a massive fan.

So with just two ingredients, I thought even I could master this particular recipe. Following a TikTik video from an account called @healthylittlepeach, I grabbed my cottage cheese, eggs and assorted condiments and set about it.

Measuring from the heart, as they say, I plopped half a tub of cottage cheese and two eggs into my trusty blender. Adding some garlic powder, onion salt and mixed herbs I blitzed until smooth and runny.

Having placed a sheet of baking paper on my baking tray I poured the mixture over a little oil and popped it into a pre-heated oven for about 25 minutes.

Slightly disappointed that my finished product didn't look as flat or as perfect as the TikTok video, I was still just about able to pop some salad inside and roll it into a wrap of sorts. Tucking in for lunch, I was surprised that it was pretty tasty - winner!

Here's the recipe I used:

  • 200g Low Fat Cottage Cheese

  • 2 medium eggs

  • Onion salt to taste

  • A pinch of garlic powder

  • A heftier sprinkle of dried herbs

Conclusion:

I loved the flavour, the texture was good and the increased protein and lower calories were a bonus. But, one thing I would say is that it only made enough for one medium-sized wrap and I did have to wait for it to cook and cool down before I could eat it.

Would I make it again? Definitely. But, if I was looking for something quick and easy, I'm afraid a shop-brought wrap or slice of regular bread would be more tempting.
