A new recipe for a "pita-pizza" using cottage cheese as a base offers a fast, protein-packed meal that can be prepared in about 10 minutes. The dish is designed to look and feel like a traditional pizza but requires minimal effort, making it suitable for a quick dinner.
Instead of a standard tomato sauce, the recipe involves mixing cottage cheese with an egg, shredded cheese, and spices. This mixture is then spread onto a pita bread base, which is then baked. The result is described as a creamy, golden-brown pizza rich in protein.
The recipe yields two large servings or about three children's portions. Key ingredients include two pita breads, 200 grams of 5% cottage cheese, one egg, 80-100 grams of shredded yellow cheese, optional Parmesan, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and optional toppings like sliced tomato, olives, or corn.
Preparation involves preheating an oven to 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit). The cottage cheese mixture is spread on the pitas, leaving a small border. Toppings are added, followed by the remaining yellow cheese. The pita-pizzas are baked for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden. For a browner finish, they can be placed under the broiler for an additional minute or two.
The recipe highlights cottage cheese's contribution to the dish's protein content and creamy texture, replacing traditional pizza sauce. The toppings can be customized to suit children's preferences, and the dish can be served with a simple salad for a complete meal.
