Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp cottage cheese
- 1/2 sheet lavash
- 100 g (3.5 oz) cheese, grated and divided
- Spices to taste
Instructions
- Mix the egg and cottage cheese; season with spices. Stir in most of the cheese, reserving some for topping.
- Microwave for 4 minutes.
- Take it out, add the remaining cheese, and microwave about 1 more minute.
- Garnish with herbs and serve.
Tips
- Use a wide, microwave-safe dish so the lavash lies flat — this helps it cook evenly and puff up nicely.
