Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (2%-4% fat)
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese and eggs. Add the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined.
Pour the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly to about ¼ inch thickness in either a circular or rectangular shape.
Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before adding your favorite toppings.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the toppings are heated through and the cheese has melted.
Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
