02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup oat flour or finely ground rolled oats
04 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Blend the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until smooth.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine blended cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, Parmesan, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix thoroughly to form a thick batter.
04 - Divide batter in half. Spoon each portion onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into ovals or rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
05 - Bake for 15 minutes, or until the flatbreads are firm and lightly golden.
06 - Remove flatbreads from oven. Spread pizza sauce over each base and layer with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, black olives, spinach, and other desired toppings.
07 - Return to oven. Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It’s the kind of meal that sneaks a boost of protein while tasting like comfort food.
  • The base has a plush texture that won’t leave you missing traditional crust, and you can pile on toppings without guilt.
02 -
  • If you skip blending the cottage cheese, the base stays lumpy and can break apart.
  • Lining your tray with parchment is a game changer—otherwise the batter sticks like glue.
03 -
  • Pulse cottage cheese until silky—don’t rush or you’ll miss the creamy base.
  • Always line your baking sheet; it’s the unsung hero for easy pizza removal.
