Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza (Printable)

Wholesome flatbread base loaded with cottage cheese and topped with classic pizza ingredients for a flavorful meal.

# What You Need:

→ Flatbread Base

01 - 1 cup cottage cheese, low-fat or full-fat
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup oat flour or finely ground rolled oats
04 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

→ Pizza Toppings

08 - 1/2 cup pizza sauce
09 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
11 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives
12 - 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
13 - Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

# How to Make:

01 - Set oven temperature to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - Process cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine blended cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Stir until a thick batter forms.
04 - Divide the batter into two portions. Spoon each onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an oval or round shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
05 - Bake for 15 minutes, until bases are firm and lightly golden.
06 - Remove flatbreads from oven. Spread each with pizza sauce, then layer mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, black olives, spinach, and any other preferred toppings.
07 - Return to oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Top with fresh basil, slice, and serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The cottage cheese base gives you an impossibly soft flatbread, but keeps the nutrition high and guilt low.
  • This method is so forgiving that you can customize toppings and spice blends every time, which always keeps meals interesting.
02 -
  • I once skipped blending the cottage cheese and ended up with uneven, chunky slices—smoothness really matters.
  • Pressing the batter too thin means your flatbread will dry out, so aim for at least 1/4 inch thickness every time.
03 -
  • Always blend the cottage cheese completely for a professional finish—lumps are the enemy of a tender crumb.
  • Baking on parchment guarantees release and makes for easy cleanup, which you’ll appreciate after the meal.
