Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp almond flour (optional)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup pizza sauce
  • ½ cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • Optional toppings (pepperoni, olives, mushrooms)
  • Fresh basil leaves for serving

Method
 

  1. Blend cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan, almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
  2. Spread into a 10-inch round on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes until golden and set.
  3. Top with sauce, mozzarella, and any toppings, then bake for 5–7 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
  4. Rest 1 minute, slice, scatter with fresh basil, and serve hot.

Notes

For the crispiest crust, splash out on whole-milk cottage cheese and low-moisture mozzarella. The almond flour is optional, but it does create a sturdier slice that feels more like traditional pizza dough; if you skip it, the crust will be thinner and more delicate.
