Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole-grain or high-protein flatbread (naan, lavash, or tortilla)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (2% or 4% for creamier texture)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes (optional)
  • Fresh toppings: chopped chives or green onions, baby arugula, sliced cherry tomatoes, or avocado
  • Optional protein boosts: smoked salmon, turkey bacon, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Warm the flatbread: Heat a dry skillet over medium. Warm the flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly toasted and flexible. Set aside on a plate.
  • Prep the eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Cook the eggs gently: Add olive oil or butter to the skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and stir slowly with a spatula until soft and just set, 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat while still creamy.
  • Spread the cottage cheese: Add cottage cheese to the warm flatbread. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The heat will soften it slightly.
  • Layer the eggs: Spoon the soft-scrambled eggs over the cottage cheese. Sprinkle smoked paprika or chili flakes if using.
  • Add fresh toppings: Finish with chives, arugula, tomatoes, or avocado. If using extra protein like smoked salmon, add it now.
  • Serve immediately: Slice and eat warm. Add a squeeze of lemon over greens for brightness, if you like.
