Keto Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Toppings:

  • 1/4 cup low-carb pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni slices
  • 2 tablespoons sliced black olives (or any preferred toppings)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will make it easy to remove the crust after baking and prevent sticking.
  2. Blend the Crust Ingredients:
    • In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
    • Blend until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Cottage cheese will give the crust a slight creaminess, and blending it well ensures an even texture.
  3. Bake the Crust:
    • Pour the blended mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly to form a round or rectangular crust, about 1/4-inch thick.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is firm, golden brown around the edges, and slightly crispy on top. Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so check for doneness.
  4. Cool the Crust:
    • Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. This will help the crust firm up and make it easier to add toppings without breaking.
  5. Add the Toppings:
    • Spread 1/4 cup of low-carb pizza sauce over the crust.
    • Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
    • Add pepperoni slices, black olives, or any other keto-friendly toppings you prefer.
  6. Melt the Cheese:
    • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For an extra golden finish, you can broil the pizza for an additional 1-2 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve:
    • Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.
    • Slice and enjoy your delicious, low-carb cottage cheese flatbread pizza!
