🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 naan breads or pita (160g total)
✓ Olive oil cooking spray
✓ 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
✓ 3/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1 tsp lemon juice
✓ 1/4 tsp sea salt
✓ 1/8 tsp black pepper
✓ 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
✓ 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
✓ 1.5 tsp za'atar spice blend
✓ 1/2 tsp sumac (optional)
✓ 2 tbsp diced cucumber
✓ 2 tbsp diced tomato
✓ 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Warm the bread: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place naan or pita breads on a baking sheet and warm for 3–4 minutes until pliable but not crispy.

2. Prepare the cottage cheese base: In a small bowl, combine low-fat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy, breaking up any large curds.

3. Infuse herbs into the filling: Fold in fresh mint and parsley into the cottage cheese mixture, reserving 1 tsp of each for garnish. Let sit 2 minutes so flavors meld.

4. Lightly oil the bread surface: Remove warm bread from oven. Lightly spray both flatbreads with 4 sprays of olive oil per side, creating an even, thin coating.

5. Spread the cottage cheese mixture: Divide the herbed cottage cheese filling equally between the two flatbreads, spreading in an even 1 cm layer, leaving a 1 cm border on all edges.

6. Season with za'atar and spices: Sprinkle 1.5 tsp za'atar and 1/2 tsp sumac (if using) evenly across both flatbreads. Drizzle remaining lemon juice if desired.

7. Toast to finish: Return flatbreads to oven for 5–6 minutes until edges are golden and filling is warm. Do not allow cheese to brown excessively.

8. Top and serve fresh: Remove from oven. Immediately top with fresh cucumber, tomato, pomegranate seeds, and reserved mint and parsley. Slice in half and serve warm.
