# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it. This ensures your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza - High Protein base won't stick and bakes evenly for a perfect crust, making cleanup a breeze.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup 2% low-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and salt and black pepper to taste. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible curds.
03 -
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin, rectangular or oval shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Aim for a consistent thickness for even baking of your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza - High Protein.
04 -
Bake the cottage cheese flatbread base for 15 minutes, or until it's firm, lightly golden brown around the edges, and set in the center. This initial bake creates a sturdy foundation for your delicious toppings.
05 -
Remove the baked flatbread from the oven. Evenly spread 1/4 cup low-sugar marinara sauce over the base. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup sliced turkey pepperoni, and 1/4 cup diced bell pepper. Finish with 1 tsp Italian seasoning.
06 -
Return the topped Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza - High Protein to the oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh basil and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes before slicing and serving immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra crispy base, bake the flatbread for an additional 2-3 minutes before adding toppings, ensuring it's deeply golden.
02 -
Feel free to customize your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza - High Protein with your favorite low-fat toppings like spinach, mushrooms, or grilled chicken.
03 -
Store any leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for best results.
