Made with a protein-rich cottage cheese crust seasoned with garlic and Italian herbs, topped with classic pizza sauce, melted cheese, and pepperoni, it’s a satisfying meal perfect for pizza lovers seeking a nutritious alternative.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 2/3 cup pizza sauce
  • 3.5 ounces grated cheese (Gouda, Edam, or mozzarella)
  • 2 ounces pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread crust.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian herb mix. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
  3. Form the Crust: Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter onto it and spread evenly into a thin circle to form the flatbread crust.
  4. Bake the Crust: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the crust for 30 minutes or until it turns golden brown and is set.
  5. Increase Oven Temperature: Once the crust is baked, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pizza toppings.
  6. Add Toppings: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked flatbread crust. Sprinkle grated cheese on top, then arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
  7. Bake the Pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
  8. Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone or preheat the baking sheet before adding the batter.
  • Substitute pepperoni with vegetables or plant-based toppings for a vegetarian option.
  • Cottage cheese can be replaced with ricotta for a different texture and flavor profile.
  • Ensure the batter is spread thinly and evenly for the best texture.
  • Use low-fat cheese and pepperoni for a lighter meal.
