Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust for Keto Diet
Picture a crispy, tasty pizza that’s keto-friendly. The cottage cheese crust offers great flavor without the carbs. With only two ingredients, you can whip up a delicious base that will delight your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full‐fat or 2% for best binding
- 2 large eggs
- Salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth. Stir in salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper if using.
- Form the Crust:
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it out evenly into a thin, round layer (the shape of your pizza).
- Bake:
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35–45 minutes—or until the crust turns golden brown and the mixture has set.
- Cool:
- Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes. This cooling step helps the crust firm up before you add your toppings.
- Finish & Serve:
- Top the cooled crust with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings. Serve immediately or finish by returning it to the oven for a few minutes if you prefer melted cheese over your toppings.
