2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust
This high-protein cottage cheese pizza crust is a simple yet satisfying alternative to traditional dough. With just a few ingredients, it bakes into a sturdy, golden base that holds toppings beautifully without becoming soggy.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese 4% minimum
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese optional
- 1 spray olive oil spray for greasing parchment
Toppings
- 0.5 cup marinara sauce or as needed
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and seasonings into a blender or food processor. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth with no visible curds.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter onto the prepared parchment. Use the back of a spoon to spread it into a thin, even circle or rectangle.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center feels firm.
- Remove from the oven and let the crust cool for 3 minutes to firm up.
- Spread marinara sauce over the crust, add mozzarella cheese, and your preferred toppings.
- Place under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Slice and serve.
Notes
For best results, always use full-fat cottage cheese to avoid excess moisture. Letting the crust cool slightly before adding toppings helps it firm up and hold structure better. You can customize toppings to your taste for endless variations.
