A quick and easy flatbread pizza topped with creamy fresh cottage cheese and savory roasted garlic mushrooms, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Flatbreads (store-bought naan or pita bread)
  • ½ cup (120g) fresh small-curd cottage cheese
  • 8 ounces (225g) cremini or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 whole head of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for mushrooms)
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (for garlic)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or parsley)
  • Optional: balsamic glaze for drizzling
  • Optional: fresh parsley or arugula for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the whole head of garlic, drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and golden. Let cool and squeeze out cloves.
  2. Clean and slice mushrooms. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme in a mixing bowl.
  3. Spread mushrooms on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until tender and caramelized, tossing halfway through.
  4. Lay out flatbreads on a clean surface. Spread ½ cup fresh cottage cheese evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border.
  5. Roughly mash roasted garlic cloves and scatter over the cottage cheese on each flatbread. Top evenly with roasted mushrooms.
  6. Place assembled flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is warmed through.
  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley or arugula if desired, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if using. Serve warm.

Notes

Roast garlic and mushrooms separately to unlock deeper flavors. Spread cottage cheese thick enough to keep flatbread moist. Preheat baking sheet for crispier crust. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days and reheat best in oven or toaster oven.
