Ingredients

1 servings
  • 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

  1. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375°F.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Finish with fresh basil and balsamic glaze. Let cool a few minutes, then slice and enjoy.
