Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour (or GF AP flour substitute)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (I used Good Culture 2%)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons pizza sauce (or Basil Pesto)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons Mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded chicken (or cooked, crumbled turkey sausage or meatless sausage)
- Small handful sliced cherry tomatoes
- Chopped fresh basil
- Balsamic glaze (optional)
Steps
-
Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375°F.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and egg. Sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the top. With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir to evenly combine.
-
Place sheet of parchment paper on top of a baking sheet (or pizza stone). Spread the cottage cheese mixture into a round crust shape that is about 8 inches across.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden at the edges and dry to the touch on top. Remove from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F.
-
Spread crust with the sauce, sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese, and scatter on the chicken and tomatoes. Return to the oven and bake 5 to 8 minutes more, until the Mozzarella is melted.
-
Finish with fresh basil and balsamic glaze. Let cool a few minutes, then slice and enjoy.
