Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Toppings

  • Sauce of your choice
  • Cheese of your choice
  • Desired toppings (vegetables, meats, herbs, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with nonstick spray to prevent the crust from sticking.
  2. Make the Crust: In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese and eggs and blend until smooth. Then transfer to a bowl and stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until well incorporated.
  3. Spread the Mixture: Pour the cheese and egg mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly into a thin rectangle or circle, approximately ¼ inch thick.
  4. Bake the Crust: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch, forming a sturdy base for toppings.
  5. Top and Bake Again: Remove the crust from the oven and spread your preferred sauce, cheese, and additional toppings. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and is bubbly.
  6. Cool and Slice: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes after baking to let the crust set further. Then slice and serve your delicious cottage cheese crust pizza.

Notes

  • You can customize the pizza with any sauce and toppings you like, making it versatile for different dietary preferences.
  • Ensure the crust is spread evenly to achieve consistent baking and avoid sogginess.
  • If you want a crispier crust, you can bake it an extra 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
  • This crust is gluten-free and high in protein, making it great for gluten-sensitive diets or those looking for a healthy pizza alternative.
  • Use fresh or part-skim cheeses to control fat content according to your dietary needs.
