Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese – 2%-4% fat
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Mix the cottage cheese and eggs in a medium bowl then add the seasoning (garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper) and mix well.
- 3. Pour the cottage cheese mixture in an even layer in a circle shape or rectangle shape onto the lined pan, about ¼ inch in thickness.
- 4. Bake the crust on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden and set. Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
- 5. Then add your toppings, and return the pizza to the oven for 5-10 more minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are nice and golden.
- 6. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before you slice and serve it.
Notes
- Use a good quality cottage cheese like Good Culture or Daisy’s. Nancy’s is also really good.
- Allow the pizza crust to cool before you add the toppings and after it is fully done cooking.
- Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the oven or air fryer at 350°F until warmed through.
