Garlic & Spinach White Pizza on Cottage Cheese Crust

1. Make the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
  2. Blend cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth.
  3. In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, mozzarella, almond flour, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  4. Spread mixture into a 10–12 inch round, about ¼ inch thick.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and firm.

2. Prepare the Garlic Spinach Topping

  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  2. Add spinach and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Pizza

  1. Spread ricotta cheese evenly over baked crust.
  2. Layer on the garlic-spinach mixture.
  3. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
  4. Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes.

4. Bake Again

Return pizza to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve

Slice and enjoy hot, garnished with fresh basil or extra Parmesan.

Tips for Success

  • Drain cottage cheese well – Too much liquid will make the crust soggy.
  • Crispier crust – Pre-bake a few minutes longer if you want extra crunch.
  • Don’t overload toppings – Keeps the crust from getting soggy.
  • Storage – Leftovers reheat best in the oven or air fryer.

Fun Variations

  • Mushroom & Spinach White Pizza – Add sautéed mushrooms for earthy flavor.
  • Chicken Alfredo Pizza – Swap ricotta for Alfredo sauce and top with grilled chicken.
  • Four-Cheese Spinach Pizza – Mix in fontina or provolone for extra cheesiness.
  • Mediterranean Twist – Add olives, artichokes, and feta crumbles.

What to Serve With It

Pair this lighter, protein-packed pizza with:

  • A fresh arugula or Caesar salad
  • Roasted vegetables
  • A crisp glass of white wine or sparkling water with lemon
