Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add the 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup flour of your choice, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon Garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano. You may add a bit of Black pepper at this point.
- Using a spatula, stir to fully combine. No need to blend. You just need a smooth texture.
- Transfer the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Using a spoon or spatula, spread the cottage cheese mixture to form a circle. Do not spread it too thin.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is slightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
- Spread the 1/2 cup Pizza sauce over the baked cottage cheese crust and top with 3/4 cup low-fat pizza Cheese blend.
- Add 2 ounces of Turkey Pepperoniake again for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Garnish with 1 tablespoon grated parmesan or chili flakes. Enjoy.
Notes
- I prefer that you use small curd cottage cheese. Either low-fat or full-fat will work. I used low-fat.
- You can use any flour like all-purpose flour, oat flour, whole wheat flour, or spelt. If you have gluten allergies, use GF flour.
- Go for low-fat shredded cheese. Any of your favorites will work. I used one that's called Pizza Blend. Mozzarella works just fine.
- Toppings can be anything like pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, onions, veggies, and so on.
- When I take the crust out of the oven, I like to let it sit for a minute or two for the crust to settle before I add the pizza sauce.
- You can make it without the flour if you want a really low-carb option. But keep in mind that the texture will be softer, moist, and not as sturdy. But it does work. I tried it.
