Crust Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Blend the crust mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined to create the pizza crust batter.
- Shape the crust: Spread the blended mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a roughly 1/4-inch thick pizza crust. Make sure the edges are smooth for even baking.
- Bake the crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is set and has a lightly golden color.
- Add toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings such as sauce, cheese, vegetables, or meats.
- Bake with toppings: Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and the toppings are cooked to your preference.
- Serve: Once baked, slice your pizza and enjoy your homemade 3-ingredient cottage cheese pizza crust!

- Use parchment paper to easily remove the pizza from the baking sheet without sticking.
