Crust Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and well combined.
- Shape Crust: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly, shaping it into a thin pizza crust approximately 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it is set, firm to the touch, and lightly golden around the edges.
- Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and add your preferred pizza toppings such as sauce, cheese, and vegetables or meats.
- Bake Pizza: Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and toppings are cooked through.
- Serve: Slice the pizza into servings and enjoy the flavorful, protein-rich 3-ingredient cottage cheese pizza crust.
Notes
- Adding garlic powder and Italian seasoning is optional but strongly recommended for enhanced flavor.
- Use parchment paper to avoid the crust sticking to the baking sheet.
- The crust thickness can be adjusted slightly to preference but keep it thin for best texture.
- This crust works well with a variety of toppings, from classic marinara and mozzarella to veggies and meats.
- For a crispier crust, bake a few minutes longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
