A quick and easy flatbread pizza featuring a crispy crust, creamy cottage cheese spread, and sweet roasted tomatoes. Perfect for a healthy, comforting meal with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 flatbread or naan (8-inch rounds recommended for crispiness)
  • Olive oil (for brushing the flatbread and roasting)
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (240g) full-fat small-curd cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • Lemon zest from one lemon
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • Fresh thyme or oregano (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh arugula or baby spinach (optional, added after baking)
  • Balsamic glaze or reduction (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven now to heat.
  2. Toss halved cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme or oregano if using. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for about 15–20 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped fresh basil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend with a fork or pulse in a food processor until creamy but still a bit textured (about 5 minutes).
  4. Place the flatbread rounds on a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil mixed with a pinch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup per flatbread).
  6. Distribute the roasted tomatoes evenly on top of the cheese layer. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Bake the pizzas for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden and crisp, and the cheese topping is slightly bubbling. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Add fresh greens like arugula or spinach on top, then drizzle with balsamic reduction if desired.
  9. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Roast the tomatoes separately to bring out natural sweetness and avoid soggy crust. Brush flatbread generously with olive oil mixed with garlic powder for a crispy, flavorful crust. Blend cottage cheese just enough to keep some texture for best spreadability. Watch baking time closely to prevent burning. Use a pizza stone for extra crispiness if available.
