These golden lavash envelopes are crisp on the outside and soft, cheesy and herby inside — a quick breakfast or snack that feels a little special without any fuss. Cottage cheese keeps the filling light and protein-rich, while grated cheese melts into every fold. They pair beautifully with a fresh salad or a cup of tea, and for more easy morning ideas try the Egg and Turkey Breakfast Sandwich and Fluffy High-Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes.
Ingredients
- 400 g (14 oz) cottage cheese (5% fat)
- 2 eggs
- 100 g (3.5 oz) cheese, grated
- Fresh dill, parsley or green onions, chopped
- Lavash (thin flatbread)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A little oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, grated cheese and chopped herbs.
- Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Spread the filling over the lavash.
- Fold into neat envelopes.
- Pan-fry in a little oil on both sides until golden and crisp.
Tips
- Do not overfill the lavash, or the envelopes will be hard to fold and may leak in the pan.
- Place the envelopes seam-side down first so they seal as they crisp.
- Serve at once for the best crunch, with sour cream or fresh herbs. For more flatbread inspiration, see Serious Eats.
