Zero-carb flatbread is a game-changer for anyone following a carnivore, zero-carb, or strict keto lifestyle. Soft, pliable, and surprisingly versatile, this flatbread lets you enjoy wraps, sandwiches, or scoops for dips—without flour, grains, sugar, or carbs.

How to Make Zero-Carb Flatbread
1. Blend the Batter
Add eggs, shredded cheese, and salt to a blender or food processor.
Blend until completely smooth. The batter should be pourable and lump-free.
If you don’t have a blender, whisk vigorously and use very finely shredded cheese.
2. Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter, ghee, or beef tallow.
3. Cook the Flatbread
Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, swirling to form a round flatbread.
Cook for 1½–2 minutes, until the edges set and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip carefully and cook another 30–60 seconds.
Remove and repeat with remaining batter.
