Description

This recipe reinvents pizza night with a clever cottage cheese–based crust that’s naturally gluten-free and rich in protein. Paired with a creamy white cheese base, garlicky sautéed spinach, and melty mozzarella, this pizza delivers everything you crave: crisp edges, creamy layers, and bold savory flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Crust Ingredients:
  •  1 cup blended cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt

 Topping Ingredients:

  • • ½ cup ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (sautéed or steamed)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes or Italian herbs

Instructions

  • Make the Crust: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Combine crust ingredients in a mixing bowl until smooth. Spread the mixture into a thin round on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes until set and lightly golden.
  •  Add Toppings: Spread ricotta or cottage cheese evenly over the baked crust. Add sautéed spinach, minced garlic, shredded mozzarella, and any optional seasonings you desire.
  •  Bake Again: Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice, serve, and enjoy every creamy, garlicky bite!
