Description
Garlic & Spinach White Pizza on Cottage Cheese Crust – savory, high-protein, low-carb, and full of flavor. A healthy pizza alternative made with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
For the Cottage Cheese Crust:
1 cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
½ cup almond flour (or oat flour for a lighter texture)
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
For the Topping:
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Make the Crust
In a mixing bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet to form a pizza base.
Step 3: Bake the Crust
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden.
Step 4: Prepare the Topping
In a skillet, sauté minced garlic in olive oil for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5: Assemble & Bake
Spread the sautéed spinach and garlic evenly over the baked crust. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan on top. Bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm — perfect as a high-protein, low-carb meal!
Notes
Add cooked chicken or mushrooms for extra protein and flavor.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
Use fresh herbs like basil or oregano for an extra flavor boost.
