Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese, used low-fat, small curd
2 large eggs
1/4 cup flour of your choice, I used all-purpose
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup pizza sauce, or marinara
3/4 cup low-fat pizza cheese blend, or shredded mozzarella
2 ounces turkey pepperoni
1 tablespoon grated parmesan, optional to garnish
Black pepper, optional
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- 2. In a large bowl, add the cottage cheese, eggs, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper if using.
- 3. Stir with a spatula until fully combined and smooth.
- 4. Transfer the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Spread into a circle, not too thin.
- 5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Remove and let sit for 1-2 minutes.
- 6. Spread pizza sauce over the baked crust and top with cheese blend.
- 7. Add turkey pepperoni. Bake again for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- 8. Garnish with parmesan or chili flakes. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Use small curd cottage cheese for best texture.
- Any flour works: all-purpose, oat, whole wheat, or gluten-free.
- Let the crust rest after baking for easier slicing.
- Toppings are flexible—try mushrooms, onions, or veggies.
- For a lower carb version, skip the flour (crust will be softer).
