Description
This simple, better-for-you pizza crust skips traditional flour and uses a creamy blend of cottage cheese, eggs, and mozzarella to create a sturdy, protein-packed foundation for your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to a blender or food processor. Process until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly combined.
- Pour the batter onto the lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into a round or rectangular pizza shape, keeping it about ¼ inch thick for even cooking.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust feels set in the center and develops light golden edges.
- Take the crust out of the oven and layer on your preferred sauce, cheese, and toppings.
- Place it back in the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, baking until the cheese melts and the toppings are heated through.
- Let it cool slightly, slice into portions, and serve.
Notes
- Choose regular or low-fat cottage cheese for the best structure and flavor.
- Blend thoroughly to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth, cohesive crust.
- Adjust seasonings to match your topping choices—add chili flakes, Parmesan, or dried herbs if desired.
- Watch the crust closely as it bakes to achieve your preferred level of crispness.
