Holly’s Pizza with a Twist
- Flavor: This cottage cheese pizza is rich, cheesy, and savory with a hint of garlic and Italian herbs.
- Skill Level: Blend and bake the crust, add toppings, and bake again. So easy!
- Prep note: Double the batter recipe and store it in the refrigerator for pizzas a la pronto.
- Budget tip: Chop up leftover veggies from the fridge as a topping.
From Curds to Crust
- Cottage Cheese: It doesn’t matter if you use small or large curd cottage cheese because it will be blended smoothly. However, if you are whisking by hand, use small curd cottage cheese for faster blending.
- Eggs: Use large, fresh eggs or 3 egg whites instead of whole eggs for more protein or liquid eggs (measure properly for the best results).
- Seasonings: Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and a little Italian seasoning make a tasty homemade pizza crust.
- Pizza Sauce: Any low-carb pizza or marinara sauce will do. Feel free to kick up the sauce with a few red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Cheese: All pizzas are about the piles of cheesy goodness. Choose any shredded variety you like or a combination! Block melts better than packaged shredded cheese if you have the time to grate it.
- Toppings: Pepperoni, onions, sliced black olives, green chiles, jalapenos, artichoke hearts…anything goes on a cottage cheese pizza.
- Variations: Why not try making a ‘white’ pizza and use homemade Alfredo sauce, chicken, and mozzarella cheese? Make soft shells by swapping out the Italian seasonings for a southwest blend and then pouring the batter into small discs for tacos.
How To Make Cottage Cheese Pizza
- Blend cottage cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese, and seasonings until smooth.
- Pour onto a prepared baking sheet and spread into a circle.
- Bake until set (full recipe below).
- Top the pizza with desired toppings and bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Crusty Secrets
Mash cottage cheese in a bowl with the back of a spoon until it’s smooth, and then whisk in the rest of the ingredients if you aren’t using a blender.
Make cheesy chips by placing the finished pizza crust under the broiler until it’s extra crispy. Use a pizza cutter to cut the circle into wedges.
Serving and Storing Cheesy Slices
Store leftover cottage cheese pizza crusts between sheets of parchment paper in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month.
