🍕 Garlic & Spinach White Pizza on Cottage Cheese Crust
🧑🍳 Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F.
Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Blend cottage cheese until smooth.
In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until you have a thick batter-like dough.
Spread into a round or rectangular crust about ¼ inch thick.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and set.
2. Prepare the White Sauce:
In a small pan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Stir in ricotta, sour cream/Greek yogurt, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Warm through and remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Pizza:
Spread the white sauce over the baked crust.
Scatter wilted spinach evenly on top.
Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
4. Bake Again:
Return pizza to the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Broil for the last 1–2 minutes for a slightly browned top (optional).
5. Serve:
Slice, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes if desired, and enjoy immediately while hot and cheesy!
Would you like me to give you a meal-prep version (where you bake multiple cottage cheese crusts ahead and freeze them for quick weeknight pizzas)? This is a great trick if you want to keep this healthy pizza as a regular go-to.
