A quick and easy flatbread pizza featuring a creamy cottage cheese topping with roasted tomatoes and fresh basil, delivering a crispy, flavorful, and light comfort food twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Store-bought flatbread or naan (thin, crisp variety recommended)
  • 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of salt (if cottage cheese is low sodium)
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes, optional
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • Drizzle of balsamic glaze or reduction, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, sliced garlic, a pinch of salt, and red pepper flakes if using. Spread evenly and roast for 15-20 minutes until softened and caramelized.
  3. While tomatoes roast, combine cottage cheese, egg, grated Parmesan, black pepper, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Blend until mostly smooth but still slightly textured.
  4. Place flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Once tomatoes are slightly cooled, spoon them over the cottage cheese layer and scatter chopped fresh basil on top.
  6. Bake the assembled flatbread pizza for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and crisp and the cheese mixture sets slightly.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with extra fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Drain cottage cheese if too wet to avoid soggy flatbread. Pre-toast flatbread 3-4 minutes for extra crispiness. Roast tomatoes until caramelized for best flavor. Use room temperature egg and cheese for smoother topping. Watch oven closely during final bake to prevent burning.
