It’s a pizza that took a wrong turn and ended up in a crêpe pan. Melted mozzarella cheese with tangy tomato paste, all wrapped up in a fluffy egg pancake. It’s like a pizza party in your mouth and everyone is invited.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 50ml low-fat milk
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 2 Tbsp. (80g) low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 small tin (90g) tomato paste
• 1 tsp. dried herbs e.g. Italian herbs
• 30g mozzarella cheese, grated
• Pinch of salt
• Ground black pepper

Method

1. Beat eggs with the milk and add in baking powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat a pan over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Pour in the egg mixture and make sure to cover the base of the pan. Let it cook on one side till just brown and then cook the other side. Try not to overcook as it will then dry out when in the oven.
4. Once cooked, remove from heat and cool slightly.
5. Spread low-fat cottage cheese on the egg base then tomato paste. Spread mozzarella cheese over the whole base and flavour with herbs, salt, and pepper.
6. Heat oven to 180°C (an air fryer – about 180°C). Get a baking sheet ready and line with baking paper. 
7. Roll the base with toppings like a pancake, use a toothpick to keep the roll together. 
8. Place the roll on the baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes and check to see the cheese is melted and it’s slightly browned and toasted.
9. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Slice into thick slices (about 2 – 3cm thick) to form wheels.
10. Can be served hot or cold as a snack.
