  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup finely chopped baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup spring onion finely chopped
  • 1-2tsp grated ginger (optional start with v little if your littles don’t watch ginger)
  • 1/2 tsp five spice powder
  • 6 flatbreads/Lebanese bread
  • 1 cup grated cheese for sprinkling

Method

  2. Place flatbreads on the bench and spread filling over the flatbread, pushing to the edge. Top with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese and place another flatbread on top of the filling. Press down to stick.
  3. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over low heat and add the flatbread. Give it a little shake to coat the bread in oil. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
