Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil it.
- Add cottage cheese, eggs, mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to a food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Scoop the mixture onto the baking sheet and spread into a circle about 9–10 inches across.
- Par-bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until set and lightly golden on the edges.

- Bake for an additional 8–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and edges are golden.
- Let the pizza rest for 3–5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Consider draining the cottage cheese if very watery. Par-baking helps prevent a soggy crust.
