Do Cottage Cheese & Pizza Really Go Together

• total time: 29 minutes

Ingredients

1 c cottage cheese (I used 2% fat)�2 large eggs�¼ cup all-purpose flour�1 tsp Italian seasoning�½ tsp garlic powder�1 c shredded mozzarella (I used fat free)�½ c pizza sauce�20 turkey pepperonis

Drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey sauce (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into a medium bowl along with the flour, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder, and mix until combined. Line a 9 by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly into a rectangle on the pan.�

Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and dry to the touch. Spread the pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a border around the edges. Sprinkle with mozzarella and toppings of choice.�

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden. Top with grated parmesan cheese and a drizzle of hot honey, if desired. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
