High-Protein Creamy Mozzarella Tortilla Bake
Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). If using an air fryer, preheat it to the same temperature.
Place the tortilla into a small round baking dish, gently pressing it against the bottom and sides to create a crust with raised edges.
Add the light mozzarella, cottage cheese, and 50g of the grated cheese to a food processor or blender. Season with salt, garlic, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and evenly combined.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared tortilla shell and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 20g of grated cheese over the top to create a beautifully golden crust.
Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until the filling is hot and creamy and the top is lightly browned with bubbling melted cheese.
Let the bake cool for 3–5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and serve while warm.
For extra flavor, add a handful of chopped fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or Italian herbs to the cheese mixture before baking. Pair it with a crisp green salad or fresh tomatoes for a balanced, Mediterranean-inspired meal.
