How to make cottage cheese pizza crust

1. Preheat the oven to 400F and line a 1/2 baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, and seasonings in a blender until smooth and creamy
3. Pour the batter onto the baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional). Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before adding pizza toppings
4. Once you have added pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese, bake for another 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges of the pizza crust are starting to brown
5. Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing

Cooking tips

It is best to use at least 4% M.F. cottage cheese for a more firm crust

For a crispier crust, use a pizza pan to let the air flow through

Instead of pouring the batter onto one baking sheet, you can also form a few small round pizzas and cook the same way

To reheat leftovers, put the slices back into the oven at 375F to keep the crust crispy

Make sure you use the parchment paper on the pan or baking sheet to prevent sticking
