Ingredients
INGREDIANTS
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-curd)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup AP flour
- 1/8 cup Corn Starch
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried Tarragon
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper flakes or cayenne powder
- 1/2 cup Pizza sauce, or marinara
- 3/4 cup Mozzarella
- 2 ounces of Pepperoni
- I used chicken, spinach and sauteed mushrooms (put toppings of your choice!)
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan, optional to garnish
- Black pepper, optional
- Use other herbs/spices if you'd like!
Intructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or use a silicon mat.
- In a food processor add the cottage cheese, eggs, flour, Cornstarch and all the herbs and spices.
- Pulse a few times to combine. It just needs to be smooth.
- Transfer the dough to your sheet pan. Using a spatula, spread the cottage cheese mixture to form a circle or square. Do not spread it too thin. 1/4 in' is picture perfect!
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is slightly golden brown. Remove and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
- Spread 1/2 cup Pizza sauce over the baked cottage cheese crust and top with the cheese then add your awesome toppings.
- Place back in the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until all cheese is melted and everything is ooey gooey good lookin!
- Sprinkle with Parm and red pepper flakes and enjoy!
Notes
If you'd like to make your own Marinara/pizza sauce:
For this pizza I used leftover shredded chicken breast, Spinach, sauteed mushrooms and diced up pickled jalapenos and the pepperoni, but the topping combinations are whatever your heart desires...just don't use anything too liquidly!
* Chef's tips: The cornstarch gives this a cool, crispy crust!
* This re-heats great in the air fryer: 350 for 2-3 minutes!
