Ingredients
Scale
- 1 plain or lightly seasoned flatbread (6 to 8 inches in diameter)
- 1/2 cup (120g) small-curd, low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, fresh spinach
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well mixed.
- Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
- Place the flatbread on the pan. Quickly spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges. Add optional toppings if desired.
- Cook the flatbread undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Gently flip the flatbread and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is toasted and the cheese mixture is lightly browned and bubbling. Add a drizzle of olive oil around edges if needed.
- Transfer the flatbread to a plate and let rest for 1 minute before slicing and serving.
Notes
Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese before mixing to avoid soggy flatbread. Cook one flatbread at a time for even crispiness. Use medium to medium-high heat to prevent burning. Thinly spread cheese mixture for best texture. Optional toppings can be added before cooking or after for fresh herbs.
