This Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza is a delicious and healthy twist on traditional pizza. Made with a protein-packed cottage cheese flatbread base, topped with savory pizza sauce, melted cheese, and spicy pepperoni, it offers a satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner. The flatbread is gluten-free, baked to a golden crisp, then loaded with toppings and baked again for the perfect cheesy finish.

Ingredients

Flatbread Base

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 2/3 cup pizza sauce
  • 3.5 ounces grated cheese (Gouda, Edam, or mozzarella)
  • 2 ounces pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread base.
  2. Prepare Flatbread Batter: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian herb mix; blend until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Shape Flatbread: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the blended mixture onto it; spread the mixture evenly into a thin circular shape resembling a flatbread.
  4. Bake Flatbread: Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until it turns golden brown and is set.
  5. Increase Oven Temperature: Raise the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pizza toppings.
  6. Add Toppings: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked flatbread, sprinkle the grated cheese on top, and arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
  7. Bake Pizza: Return the topped flatbread to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free meal, ensure the pizza sauce used does not contain gluten.
  • You can substitute the pepperoni with vegetarian or vegan slices if preferred, adjusting the diet label accordingly.
  • Use a blender to achieve the smoothest flatbread batter; alternatively, use a food processor.
  • If you want a crispier flatbread, bake it a few minutes longer before adding toppings.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
