QUICK DESCRIPTION
This high-protein crustless cottage cheese pizza is cheesy, golden, and incredibly satisfying — all protein, no flour, no carbs. It tastes like a molten cheese pan pizza, but it’s made with simple ingredients, packed with protein, and perfect for a quick lunch, dinner, or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (whole milk or low-fat)
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional toppings: Mini pepperonis, sliced olives, crushed red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of marinara sauce for dipping.
Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking dish or skillet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Blend the Base: Add the cottage cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble: Pour the blended mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly into a thin layer.
- Top with Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan across the top, along with any desired low-carb toppings.
- Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese on top is melted and nicely blistered.
- Broil & Set: Turn on the oven broil setting for 1–2 minutes to get a crisp, deeply browned top layer. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set before slicing.
