Healthy smoked salmon pitta pizza!


These are a new absolute favourite of mine!! They're so easy and tasty and making and cooking them literally takes around 5 minutes! They're very low in saturated fat and calories, nutritious but also rather filling too!

Cooking and preparation time: 5-8 minutes

You will need:
  • 2 pitta bread pieces
  • 3 tablespoons of cottage cheese
  • Salmon slices
  • An oven tray
Steps: (1 serving)
  1. Preheat the grill to the maximum heat and leave the oven door agar.
  2. Take two slices of pitta bread. I prefer to separate a pitta into it's two thinner slices as I don't like these two thick. To do this, slide a butter knife through the side until you get to separate pieces (this can be easier to do if you heat the pittas for a short period of time in a toaster.
  3. Once you have your thin pitta slices, add a generous, heaped tablespoon of cottage cheese to your pitta and spread it evenly.
  4. Before adding the salmon, place your pitta bread onto the oven tray and place on the highest level in the oven to grill the pitta bread and cheese.
  5. After 2-4 minutes, once the edges of the pitta bread begins to turn brown, remove the pitta from the grill.
  6. You can then add your salmon slices on top of the cottage cheese (adding the salmon to the oven will cause it to harden, hence why it is added afterwards).
  7. Season to taste and enjoy.
Helpful/healthy tips:
  • I use fat-free cottage cheese as I find that it still tastes great without the added fat and calories.
  • Using a cookie cutter, you can cut your pitta bread into small shapes and make mini canapés which would be great for parties or social events.
  • I prefer my pitta bread warm, especially when eaten at dinner time, but these also taste great cold, skipping the grill and saving time for a super quick and tasty lunch or dinner.
