Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza (Printable)

Cottage cheese flatbread, layered with pizza favorites for a healthy and protein-rich meal.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Flatbread Base

01 - 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup oat flour or finely ground rolled oats
04 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

→ Pizza Toppings

08 - 1/2 cup pizza sauce
09 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
11 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives
12 - 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
13 - Fresh basil leaves for garnish

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a blender or food processor, process the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
03 - Combine the blended cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and oregano in a mixing bowl. Stir until a thick batter forms.
04 - Divide the batter evenly. Spoon each portion onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into oval or round shapes, each about 1/4 inch thick.
05 - Bake for 15 minutes, or until the flatbreads are firm and lightly golden.
06 - Remove flatbreads from the oven. Spread pizza sauce evenly over each base. Add mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, black olives, spinach, and additional toppings as desired.
07 - Return to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes, until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
08 - Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This flatbread pizza packs a punch of protein and feels lighter than classic crusts, making it ideal for weeknight cravings.
  • The base’s subtle savoriness lets your toppings shine, creating a playful canvas for endless customization.
02 -
  • Overloading with sauce can make the flatbread soggy, so stick to a moderate amount.
  • Blending the cottage cheese is key; skipping this step leaves the base grainy and uneven.
03 -
  • Let the flatbread cool just slightly before adding sauce—this prevents sogging and keeps the base sturdy.
  • Hand-shredded mozzarella melts more evenly and gives that sought-after stretch.
