3 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese 2%-4% fat recommended
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
Prepare the Mixture:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until smooth and well combined. Add the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, and mix thoroughly.
Shape the Crust:
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, evenly spread it into a circular or rectangular shape, approximately ¼ inch thick. Aim for an even layer to ensure consistent baking.
Bake the Crust:
- Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Add Toppings and Finish Baking:
- Allow the crust to cool for 5-10 minutes before adding your preferred pizza toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the toppings are heated and the cheese is melted.
Cool and Serve:
- Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for 10 minutes to allow the crust to set further. Slice and serve immediately.
