# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it extends beyond the edges for easy handling. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze for your flatbread.
02 -
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy for the perfect base of your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza (High Protein, Low Carb).
03 -
Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Using a spatula, spread it evenly into a thin rectangle, approximately 8x10 inches. Aim for a consistent thickness to ensure even baking of your flatbread.
04 -
Bake the flatbread base for your Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza (High Protein, Low Carb) for 15 minutes, or until it's golden brown around the edges and firm to the touch. This creates a sturdy foundation for your toppings.
05 -
Carefully remove the baked flatbread base from the oven. Spread 1/4 cup low-sugar marinara sauce evenly over the top, leaving a small border. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup turkey pepperoni slices, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper.
06 -
Return the Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza (High Protein, Low Carb) to the oven and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
07 -
Remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish immediately with 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, torn, 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (if using). Slice and serve your delicious Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza (High Protein, Low Carb) warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, ensure your flatbread base is spread thinly and baked until well-golden before adding toppings.
02 -
Feel free to customize your toppings! Other great low-carb options include mushrooms, spinach, olives, or cooked chicken.
03 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for best results.
