A quick and creamy flatbread pizza featuring a tangy cottage cheese base, fresh veggies, and melty mozzarella, perfect for snacks or light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Flatbreads (store-bought or homemade naan or pita)
  • 1 cup (240g) small-curd cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for drizzling)
  • ½ cup (75g) halved cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup (40g) thinly sliced red onion (optional)
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon olive oil (for drizzling on top)
  • Optional toppings: sliced olives, arugula, chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed. For a smoother texture, pulse in a food processor for 10-15 seconds.
  3. Place flatbread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and spread evenly.
  4. Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Scatter halved cherry tomatoes and sliced red onion evenly on top.
  6. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
  7. Drizzle about ½ teaspoon olive oil over the top to encourage browning.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden and flatbread edges are crisp.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before slicing.
  10. Optional: Scatter fresh arugula or chili flakes on top before serving.

Notes

Press excess moisture from cottage cheese to avoid soggy flatbread. Thinly slice veggies for even cooking. Drizzle olive oil for a golden finish. Pre-toast flatbread for extra crispiness. Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
