Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided: 1/4 cup for crust, 1/4 cup for topping
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara
  • pizza toppings of choice

Equipment

  • food processor
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Blend cottage cheese, eggs, parmesan, 1/4 cup mozzarella, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor for 30-45 seconds until mostly smooth with some small curds remaining for texture.
  3. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread into a 10-12 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick, keeping edges slightly thicker than the center.
  4. Bake for 18-22 minutes until crust turns golden brown and feels firm when touched. Edges should pull away slightly from parchment.
  5. Remove from oven and spread pizza sauce evenly across crust, leaving a small border. Add toppings and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
  6. Return to oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese bubbles and browns slightly. For extra crispy cheese, move oven rack to upper-middle position and broil on high for 1-2 minutes, watching constantly.
  7. Let pizza rest for 3-4 minutes before slicing to allow crust to set properly.
