Cottage Cheese Breakfast Pitas

Ingredients

• •2 whole wheat pitas (15 cm / 6-inch)
• •½ cup (125 mL) full-fat cottage cheese (2% or 4%)
• •2 large eggs
• •¼ cup (30 g) shredded mozzarella or marble cheese
• •¼ tsp garlic powder
• •¼ tsp dried Italian seasoning
• •¼ tsp salt
• •⅛ tsp black pepper
• •1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
• •¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for topping)
• •1 tbsp fresh chives or green onion, sliced (for topping)
• •pinch chili flakes (optional, for topping)

Directions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2In a small bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. 3Place the pitas on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush or spray the tops with olive oil.
4. 4Spread half the cottage cheese mixture onto each pita, leaving a 1 cm border around the edge to form a rim that will cradle the egg.
5. 5Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the centre of each cottage cheese layer, then carefully crack one egg into each well.
6. 6Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over each pita, avoiding the egg yolk so it stays visible and sets to your preferred doneness.
7. 7Bake for 10–13 minutes, until the egg whites are fully set, the cottage cheese is puffed and lightly golden, and the pita edges are crisp. For a fully set yolk bake the full 13 minutes; for a runny yolk, check at 10.
8. 8Remove from the oven, top with cherry tomatoes, chives, and chili flakes if using, and serve immediately.

💡 Can't find small pitas? Use naan bread or flatbread instead — just trim to size or let the edges go extra crispy. For a dairy-free swap, use a plant-based cottage cheese (Good Culture or Daiya work well at Canadian Walmart and Loblaws) and skip the shredded cheese or use a vegan mozzarella. Add everything bagel seasoning in place of the garlic powder and Italian seasoning for a popular flavour variation. Leftovers do not reheat well as the egg overcooks, so bake only what you plan to eat.
