It’s a healthier twist on traditional pizza with a soft yet crispy flatbread crust made by baking a blended cottage cheese and egg mixture. Ready in just under an hour, it’s perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a satisfying snack that everyone will love.


Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Base

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (fresh, room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb mix (optional)

Toppings

  • 2/3 cup pizza sauce
  • 3.5 ounces grated cheese (your choice)
  • 2 ounces pepperoni slices (or any preferred toppings)


Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) so it’s ready as you prepare your flatbread base.
  3. Shape the Flatbread: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the blended mixture onto the sheet, spreading it out evenly into a thin circle about 1/4 inch thick to form the flatbread crust.
  4. Bake the Flatbread: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown and the center should be firm to the touch when done.
  5. Increase Oven Temperature: Remove the flatbread and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the final baking of the toppings.
  6. Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked flatbread. Then sprinkle the grated cheese over the sauce and add pepperoni slices or any other toppings you prefer.
  7. Final Bake: Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the flatbread cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious cottage cheese flatbread pizza.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, you can use a pizza stone or bake on a preheated baking tray.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with vegetables, different cheeses, or meats to suit your taste.
  • Using room temperature cottage cheese helps it blend smoother and evenly.
  • This recipe is a great low-carb alternative to traditional pizza crusts.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
