Ingredients

  • 2 flatbreads store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is perfect for crisping up the flatbread while melting the cheese without burning the toppings.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the seasoning is evenly distributed. This mixture will serve as the creamy base for your flatbread.
  • Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle each flatbread lightly with olive oil to help achieve a golden, crispy crust.
    Evenly spread the cottage cheese mixture over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges. Next, scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cottage cheese layer. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the tomatoes for that fragrant, fresh flavor.
  • Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire flatbread. This will melt beautifully and bind all the toppings together, creating a luscious cheesy finish.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and started to turn golden brown. The flatbread edges should be crisp and slightly toasted.
  • Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into portions and enjoy warm. For a fun twist, serve alongside a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes and fragrant basil leaves for the best flavor.
  • Pat cherry tomatoes dry before adding to prevent soggy flatbread.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
