  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese, drained
  • 2 Large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup Marinara sauce
  • ½ cup Additional shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Combine the drained cottage cheese, eggs, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, kosher salt, and Italian seasoning in a mixing bowl. Beat until fairly smooth and sticky.
  3. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread the mixture into a roughly 10-inch (25 cm) circle about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick.

  5. Spread marinara sauce evenly over the crust.
  6. Sprinkle with the additional cheese and any desired toppings.
  7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  8. Broil for about 1-2 minutes for a crispy finish, watching closely.
  9. Let the pizza rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
  10. Drizzle with olive oil or chili flakes if desired and serve.

Notes

Make sure to drain the cottage cheese well to avoid a soggy crust. Experiment with various cheeses for different flavors.
